The ice cream van is still in Australia - from time to time it goes past our office and we make jokes about it taking too long to run to the elevator and then wait for it to get to ground floor.
Maybe the real reason you don't see them anymore is that you buggered off to Japan?

@YongYang Being active is only optional, not required to lose weight. A good diet alone is plenty. Currently at 9kg lost in 8 weeks myself, and I haven't done any exercise beyond the walking I already have to do to get to work and shops. Losing more than 1kg per week isn't particularly healthy anyway.

The cell phone thing wouldn't bug me so much, but when I tried to sign up on an iPhone which had a Japanese SIM in it, I was told to "use a phone" - evidently it only lets you sign up if you're on one of those awful flip phones the Japanese love so much.

All these fools speaking out as if the man was the bad guy. He's not though, he's the good guy. If governments really do start going all out to take out the good guy, we'll know for sure that the world is totally screwed.

noypikantoku: it's not stealing. Nobody said it's not illegal, but please, understand what "stealing" means before spouting rubbish using the record industry jargon usage of the term. If you steal something from someone, you deprive them of the item. If you're not depriving them of the item, it's not stealing.

Goes to show how locked down the Japanese market is, if it requires a phone vendor to provide Skype to people. Here, if we want Skype, we just install it.

The DSi is also region locked. Sad that Nintendo have been doing this now, although the Wii was also region locked...

9 square millimetres sounds about right to me. 2mm wide and 4.5mm long. That's huge in your book? I feel sorry for the tiny rice you have to eat.

MistWizard: then you wouldn't get this either:
"I went to the doctor and said it hurts when I do this."
"What did he say?"
"He said, 'Don't do that.'"
