I went to Nakano again today for some Super Famicom shopping. I ended up buying a whole bunch of games. I found 3 different shops that had varying numbers of old games. It seems that if a shop only has a shelf of Famicom games, they are usually 100 yen or so cheaper than the huge stores. It really pays to look around! Speaking of which, there are a couple of games that I have not spotted yet. The biggest one being Mother 2. I need to buy that game. Period.
In other news, I got my cell phone bill recently. For the entire month it was 3,500 yen. Not too bad if you ask me. From here on out, I will not be using any of the extra services (internet, music, etc.) I am hoping that I can cut that bill in half for next month.
I have been going to the supermarket a lot in the past week or so. I cherish the moments at home when I can just get out a piece of bread and start chowing down. On the instant side of things, I found my new favorite food: instant yaki-soba. In theory, it sounds like a terrible idea. Since it is instant, the noodles cannot be fried which is the whole point of yaki-soba. I believe it is better than ramen because there are twice as many noodles, and it is a lot more flavorful. After making the noodles, you put in some sauce, green flakes, and mayo. It tastes nothing like actual yaki-soba, but whatever the strange taste is, it is really good. I picked up a bunch of them for my lunches when I stay at home.

Yep, it really does pay to look around for SFC games. :) I got my copy of Mother 2 in Akihabara, actually. There was a store that was selling *new* copies of it for about 1000 yen. New, completely unopened and pristine copies! Clearly I had to buy it.
3,500 yen is already an incredibly low cell phone bill for Japan! The crazy cell-phone addicted high school students can spend 20,000+ a month on their bill and the plans in general cost more per month and have significantly fewer minutes than in the US. I guess this could mean that the prices have been going down in the past 4 years, though. My 150 minutes/month plan with a 50% student discount was probably slightly more than that without making any calls on it, let alone going over or using extra services.
