The little dog mascot of the phone company is really popular here. His name is Otasan which means father and he has conversations with Tommy Lee Jones in commercials. It is all very random, cute, and endearingly Japanese.
I got a free beer glass with Otasan's face on it. My supervisor loved it so I gave it to her.
The moment I got my phone I downloaded all of my necessary apps to tweet, instagram, and waste an hour on Facebook. Oh boy, I am a phone zombie again.
The best thing about having this phone is that I have GPS again! I can access train schedules, and create a route to anywhere my heart desires. Traveling Japan just became a lot less daunting. This comes at the perfect time because I am planning a trip to Kyoto for fall and a possible trip to Tokyo in November. Exciting times!
