We're talking about native Japanese students studying overseas, just so you know. Else, I apologize.

"*bleep* oh i'm so popular, hold on, i've just gotta read this mail from someone probably really important!"

that's the spirit ^^

I've seen Japanese girls who all got together to go to a restaurant, and while waiting for their food to arrive all 4 of them had their keitai out sending/reading mail. I've seen the same thing from groups of girls riding around in a car together.

It's scary. The "virtual" relating to people on the other end of the keitai takes the place of relating to people physically present. Even more scary since presumably these groups all had to agree to go do something together to begin with. And once together, they largely ignore each other.

I've heard guys at work talk about how "reasonable" their keitai bill is, since they "only" spent about 50,000 per month on it. (These guys gross about 10,000/day pay, by the way).

This nation of さびしがりや has taken to the keitai like ducks take to water.

Really? 50,000 a month!? Dang, that's quite a lot. Can almost pay for rent with that.
But that's still an interesting piece of information.

Nothing is more sad then seeing a couple out in a restaurant or walking around and they are just on their mobiles mailing people :S Its like a new high tech way of being anti-social
