in japan, people put their trash on the street side, usually under a net, to prevent it of getting all tousled by the crows. but some kind of lazy person, who trashed his SFC this morning, just putted it in front of that net so it almost reached the middle of the street, where i was walking.

Is Japan aware of garbage cans?  :mrgreen:

Apparently they use a superior technology known as "nets."

I'm sure in another 5-10 years us primitives here in the US will also adopt this advanced garbage retention technique.

1. i don't know yet..first i had to smuggle it unnoticeable into the firm (under my jacket), to not appear like the last otaku on earth.
have to try it later. but if it doesn't, i will make it to do^^ but it is in a better shape as most of the stuff you can buy at recyle shops today.

2. in some mansion areas they uses containers, but in most part of residentials they using those "high tec nets" :D

jeez, don't the Japanese know about ebay?  #-o

I wouldn't even throw a pong clone away, and they're almost worthless now.

edit: IIRC, tatsusama works for a Swiss watch maker's Japan branch?

Nice find and boxed too.  Did you have to save a drowning kitty to get such good karma?
