Essentials
On arrival in Japan, the first thing to do is start communicating.
So it is very important to get your home wired up to the internet. Luckily my son was already there and with no concept of cost he already had us hooked up to unlimited mega-speed adsl. When I asked how much it costs per month, I only got blank looks. Nobody seemed to know or care, I guess I will find out when the bills roll in.
I got my near-new laptop past customs ok with no duty, they were more interested in my 30.5cm ski boots stuffed with socks and sunglasses 
I got these in the UK since shoe sizes tend to max out at around 27/29 cm requiring you to find an oversize shop for bigger size shoes.
Andy, would you tell how much does it cost? As I’m always was curious how much we overpay for Internet.

I am using Yahoo BB Broadband 10Mbps package. Their website says it costs 2,600 yen for 12Mbps which is less than I paid for 1Mbps in the UK.
