For those of you who do not know, a "keitai” is what Japanese call cell phones. I finally got my gaijin card last week, which proves I am legal in the country, which allowed me to get a keitai. I decided to get a phone with a Japanese-English dictionary in it to avoid having to buy a separate one, and I also decided to get one as close to green as I could (obviously, for anyone who knows me). So here is what my phone looks like…

Phone Information

Oh ya, the phone was free. I decided I didn’t want to pay for one, so I got the best free one I could. However, I did not get the phone number I wanted. When I got the phone they gave me a choice of numbers to choose from, and I choose the one with the best logical pattern, but when I picked up the phone 30 minutes later I hadn’t realized that they gave me a completely different number than what I choose. I was annoyed but I don’t speak Japanese well enough to complain about it now I also have an email address on the phone where people can send me text messages but I haven’t figured out what that is yet.
