Electronics are so ridiculously cheap here at the duty free shops! I'm charging my new camera now so that I can start posting photos that don't look like I took them with a mobile phone...>.> This bad boy's got photo stabilization for shaky hands (ahem), facial recognition, and 7x zoom, HD video too! It didn't come in blue so I "settled" for the classic black. This was actually one of the least expensive cameras they had, too. Duty Free helps.
Missing my doggies and my Richie. Even Bink. I very much enjoy the serenity of anonymity, but I am human so I do miss the familiar. That's right, I just called them noisy bastards. :P I tease because I love!
The folks back home are going to (hopefully) send me a couple items I can't get here. Special, one of a kind items. Like a particular contact solution, and some peanut butter. Oooo and a GIANT BLOCK of cheddar cheese!! I can't wait - I love getting mail.
Today I went to Akihabara again to scope out the electronics. They have security systems here that use pinhole cameras, or are embedded in sunglasses and aren't obvious! There are connectors of every kind, and LEDs in every color and wattage, some so bright they burn my retinas! This place is an electrical engineer's wet dream. You know the little machines with the plastic eggs in them that have some kind of little toy/keychain? Those are EVERYWHERE. Anime characters, Snoopy, little stuffed animals both cute and confusing, all kinds of things. Oh, that reminds me. I bought a USB 2.0 drive today, 4GB, for about $7. They had 16GB drives for $30!!! And 32GB drives for ~$100!! And these are all thumbdrives! I even saw the little 5mm ones that barely stick out of the USB slot, and they were 8GB!
