On a recent trip to Japan, I learned a few things.

1. When traveling to Japan, bring a netbook with an RJ-45 cable.  Wifi isn’t as popular.
2. Electronics cost up to 4x more than the US.  Well, everything is more expensive.
3. Vending machines are awesome.
4. Many people had iPods too.

They had the latest and greatest available for purchase.  Surprisingly, big screen TVs are not as popular in Japan.  With space being so scarce, a huge 40 inch LCD TV would take up too much space.  They are really green and care about not producing any unnecessary waste.  Obsolete electronics are not replaced as quickly as they are here.  Many computers were still using Celeron and Pentium 4 CPUs.  They haven’t found a need to move onto the fastest processors.  I’ll post pictures a little later.  Now to get over this jet lag.
