Ah, I feel so ancient; I took the top 2 pictures with a film camera that I dusted off for my Tokyo trip knowing my phone wouldn't be working there. Finally developed the film, had Dav scan them for me and now here they are...days later from the actual event.
As much as I appreciate my loyal Nokia phone, while in Tokyo, I was in love with the current Japanese phones. As if in a symbolic expression of protest, my phone escaped from my bag one night and dramatically splattered against the sidewalk. Gen and Paul took a sympathetic interest in my phone.
Later that evening, Paul showed off the Mogi game he's playing. As we walked in Naka-meguro towards a yummy dessert place, he searched for virtual treasures in the vicinity that he could "pick up" with his phone. He kindly sent me a screen shot that I begged for.
If I were living in Tokyo, I'd be working my butt off to be the Mogi queen! What a fantastic way to get people to explore the city. I can imagine that I'd spend a whole Sunday afternoon strolling new neighborhoods, looking for virtual items, snapping and marking places that catch my eye. Anything that gets you out of a regular pattern is good in my book :)
