back in tokyo! Originally uploaded by

20:28, got out of the plane at terminal 2. Paths crossed, but in a distance a little to far to facilitate any encounter. I should really get a phone for checking my work emails- i only checked it in the plane to tokyo!
Retrospective flickr-ing is one of my to-dos for tonight. And really really switching to a new computer.

is thinness really a trend? i met no one who can explain why they want
a phone which is thin. yet its a strong ‘trend’ driven by many
companies. it is true that its an ultimate tech showoff.
in china – i hear korean manufacturers are considered to be cool -
they succeeded in creating this high end image. i think i could
understand why.
pictured is the samsung mobile ad featuring the popular korean movie
star (jihyun chun), comparing a range of 3 thin phones.

New to narita (i saw flowers for the opening event still very fresh). Literally grind the fruits and the juice gets served in a small cup that jamba juice regulars might consider either as a joke, or a tasting offer.

Polite staff, crowded yet clean and orderly. Only if it was closer to the city!
