Don't get lost with the Vodafone 903T or find the nearest shoe shop

Not a big fan of Mobile Phones myself, but if I was going to buy one of these ghastly pieces of technology then this 903T from Vodafone would be it. Brimming with all the features that you would expect of a modern mobile dog and bone, it also has GPS maps. This allows you at anytime, anywhere in the world to bring up a map of where you are and allow you to enter directions on where you want to go. Brilliant. I know someone that could use one of these, but she would probably programme it to find the nearest shoe shop. Trouble is, of course, is that the map is all in Japanese, so I think that shoe shops of Tokyo will be safe for now.
Lots of Japanese mobile phone also have a television tuner built in to allow you to watch TV on your phone. You can even play the very popular Final Fantasy video game on your mobile phone, for a little taste of magic.

CLASSIFIEDS - Secondhand items for sale
The Japanese people are not very fond of secondhand goods. They always prefer to have new goods, be it homes, cars or TV's. This means that secondhand goods are very cheap and a good buy, but there is not many of them out there.

Classifieds at Gaijinpot has a godd selection of classified goods, but really only good for jobs and housing. House hold goods sections are limited, but there are often foreigners leaving Japan and selling off all there stuff. Hand if you have just moved to Japan and want to buy some household items.

Craigslist Tokyo is not like the Craigslist's in the US, where they are a secondhand phenomenon. You can buy or sell virtually anything. Before leaving Seattle to move to Tokyo I managed to sell of lots of unwanted belongings. Here in Tokyo it is nowhere near as popular, with only foreigners and a very few Japanese knowing about it.
