I pass by this small public bath house on my way home. It only opens in the evening it seems.

Office elevator buttons dont work with gloved hands. When i really felt lazy and when no one was around, i have used my chin to press the button.
The first time i experienced conductivity-sensitive buttons on the product was my panasonic walkman with a wireless remote. I was thrilled as it was magical, and the product was devoid of the ugly ‘hold’ slider. More importantly, it was nice because the buttons on the product was only secondary control, as i was using the remote control most of the time, which had mechanical buttons.

Japanese government made this logo so that pregnant women can carry this as a visible sign. According to the owner of this, lots of japanese women quit their job during their pregnancy because they cannot stand the morning commuting crowd. A friend, who recently got pregnant, has lots to worry about, including her husband who can never be at home before midnight.

An ad on sunday newspaper. Its not clear if the barbie is cooked with the shrimp after the chef places it on her, or merely functions as a serving plate.

Surprisingly, the out-of-box message was ‘dont steal music’. Cool enough to preach?
Got one finally to be more in touch with the world. No tv, no radio, little browsing around, no newspaper - it makes the world a very quiet place.
