I got my celly the first week that I reached here.  There are many options for people visiting for short or long terms.  In the very near future, I hope to update the site with more information regarding linking up a home or cell phone in Japan.  As for me, I just learned how to move my photos and videos from my cell phone to my computer so I hope to have my picture gallery up in running in the very near future.  I also learned how to convert tunes to .mmf format which is dope for creating your own ringtones on your celly.  These instructions will also be added to the site shortly.  Till then, peace out, I got work to do.
