Greedy Teddy want this for you!

Recently, one of my students went to a Youth Summit that mirrored the G8 Summit in Hokkaido. This one looks even better! Check out AYF2008 Asian Youth Forum

There is still time to apply and if you need help, come see me on Wednesday or Friday in my office.

One week, college students from all over, hostel in Yoyogi, all activities: 30,000 yen. It is the cheapest study abroad experience ever.

I'm not really into cars, but this is so cool

I don't drive. It just doesn't make sense in Tokyo. I do have a driver's license and I can drive if I want to, but I usually just don't. But, if I was going to get a car, I would get this one it is perfect.



That is the Tesla Roadster. It looks like a super sports car--which it is--but it is also good for the environment. It is a totally electric car. It isn't a hybrid like the Prius, but only uses electricity. So, if I had this, I could drive fast, look cool, and save the planet. Not bad. I definitely want one. How about you? Would you buy one? It's only about 100,000 USD!

NERF!

When I was a kid, I loved my Nerf Ball. I remember when they were new, and they were so cool. The best part was that you could use them indoors because they would break anything> I wonder, was Nerf popular in Japan?

Here's and original Nerf Ball.




Now, Nerf makes insane toys, like Nerf guns, bombs, missiles, and weapons. This Nerf Battle looks like something out of The Matrix. I want all of those Nerf toys. I'll take them to the ELP office on the 3F of Gakujikan and we'll have a lot of fun!

Anybody wanna have a NERF WAR!

iPhone! iPhone! The iPhone is coming!

I've been waiting a long time to get an iPhone. People in the US have them. People in Europe. Even one of my friends in Cambodia has an iPhone--and they aren't really for sale there!

Finally, it is coming to Japan with Softbank. More info on why it will be popular in Japan here.

Do you think it will be popular in Japan? Do you want one too?

Super Cub!

This is something that Greedy Teddy used to have, but really wants to have again.

When I lived in Nagoya, I bought a small motorcycle. It was a really old Super Cub 70. It only cost me 30,000 yen, but it was great. I loved it. It was the first motorcycle I ever had. The Super Cub was nothing special, but it always worked great and was really fun.

My friends teased me because it was old and small. They thought I should have a big Italian motorbike, but I loved my Super Cub.

Unfortunately, somebody stole it!

I really want to get another one. Especially, I would like to get an old, vintage one. The new Super Cubs are OK, but the old ones are much cooler! These days I don't have a motorcycle license, so I have to get the Super Cub 50, not another 70.

This is exactly what I want:



Can anyone suggest a good shop that I should go to?

Have you ever heard of Chumby? Teddy wants one!

Chumby is a very cool little device. It is a:

video player
small TV
game player
computer
alarm clock
mp3 player
digital picture frame
soft toy
calendar
and more!




Here's Chumby



And, it is really cheap! The only reason why I don't have one yet is that they are only available in the US. Next time I go back to America, I am going to get one.

You can do almost anything with Chumby because it is a small computer that you can program. If you can't program computers, that's no problem, other people have done it for you. You can get thousands of cool little programs called widgets to use on your Chumby. It can tell you anything you want to know off the Internet, play, and have fun with it.

I really want one!

More ukuleles

I have one really cool ukulele, but it isn't enough.

This is the one I have.












Here is the one I want!
