a manga kiss good night
No,it isnt because thats all I could fit in the picture that was the whole room. Its about 1 meter square with a padded floor, a bean bag chair and a computer with internet access. Welcome to an internet cafe the last refuge of the poor, the drunk and those who have missed the last train or in my case all 3.
But its not all bad. You get unlimited internet access, more comics aka manga than you could read in a life time and all-u-can drink soft drinks. All in all its a good deal at about 10 to 15 dollars a night. Also they call them manga kiss which is fairly inviting.

a little wisdom goes a long way
Recently I had to have a wisdom tooth removed so seeings that I dont have insurance in Japan I thought I should shop around.
I still dont speak Japanese as well as I′d like to so I checked into some English speaking dentists. The prices seemed relatively reasonable so I had pretty much settle on making an appointment. Then I thought I should atleast give a Japanese speaking dentist a call and found out it would cost about a third of the price!
So naturally I brought my A-game Japanese and hit the Japanese speaking dentist and Im glad they did great and spoke slowly and used simple Japanese. They started with biz Japanese which is way to difficult for me and some Japanese people too. But I ask them not to and they did.
They did amazing and I hardly had any pain. In the end I was one wisdom tooth lighter yet a little wiser.
