my japanese phone truly expresses me.

you can buy anything in tokyo. 

i'm not joking

anything.

if you can think of it, it was probably invented twenty five years ago in tokyo. because you are behind, man. sorry! did you know that tokyo is in the future. like, literally?! 

so, i can check up on my blog from my phone. i can also use my phone to telegraphically erase any previous notion of what life was like pre-japan. then, my phone can make me some japanese curry and sing me to sleep. when my japanese phone wakes me up in the morning, it also makes me coffee and dresses me for work while i'm still in bed. my japanese phone is my best friend. i love it.

in order to show your appreciation for all your japanese phone does for you, you must make it pretty. most japanese adorn their phone in at least twenty to thirty accessories. these can range from anything to rhinestones to stickers to squishy donuts that actually smell like real donuts. 

so far, i have:

*one sticker (as previously mentioned, its the game center sticker taken with maya. note: we are not actually in a real glass of wine. i know. it looks very realistic!)

*two squishy donuts that smell like real donuts

*two hard donuts that do not smell like real donuts, but they do in face look more realistic than the squishy donuts

*two hello kitties

*one blob of goo that represents a character from a bottle of itch relief gel (this was free with the gel i used to relieve my mosquito bites. documented in a previous post over the summer, when i went to yoyogi park.)

no rhinestones, yet. 

also, i am proud to say that of the adornments listed i only bought ONE hello kitty adornment and the sticker. the rest were given as gifts. 

not even four months into living in tokyo. 

aside from this blog, i believe that my japanese phone is the best physical evidence to document the evolution of my time spent in japan.
