The World’s Most Overpriced Smartphone Arrived At The Door

It must be cool technology as it’s the latest and the greatest. The new iPhone X arrived today.

As high tech people, definitely need to play with this stuff. However, as the changes are incremental, these last few models of the smartphone are not that exciting.

Our best selling product is a phone service. It will be good to see how it runs our apps as thousands of people will be running them on this device as it begins to sell in Japan.

For those already using it. What do you think about your iPhone X? Worth the price?

New emperor on the way for Japan

Looks we’ll have a new emperor in Tokyo in 2019. Government is talking about giving extra national holidays to celebrate. As we’re in the cyber generation, you wonder how many people would go to see as opposed to watching it on YouTube or Vimeo.com later.

An excellent product to avoid

Bought Toshiba washing machine in Jan 2016. It was okay as a product but the last six months it created its own new feature.  It would start rewashing the whole load when it began the last 7 minutes of the wash cycle.  You had to stand there and wait until the last 7 minutes to make sure you didn’t have the machine constantly washing or stopping with a waterlogged load of clothes.

Thank God for the internet!  Now with people reviewing product on the internet we discovered it’s a common problem with Toshiba washing machines. Rather than calling a serviceman to temporarily ‘fix’ (because it does the same thing again as time passes), we decided it best to trash the Toshiba.

Interesting how the company’s accounting integrity issues seems to reflect in junk products.  Sad.  They are still pushing these at Costco and Yodobashi Camera.

Conclusion- don’t buy Toshiba washing machines.

Ginza Taken Over By Tourists

Ginza has always been a great place for food. Had many dates there due to so many excellent restaurants. The last few years we’ve heard Korean, German, Swedish, French, English, and lots of Chinese just walking down the street.

Recently, lots of Chinese friends buy 5000 yen suitcases there to fill with their shopping for the day and take back to the homeland. Is Ginza becoming Tokyo’s next Chinatown?
