Maybe it could be from all the great shopping districts to the gaming district; also the food options everywhere. Tokyo is the place to be. I know one thing their is never a boring moment in Japan their is much to see and experiences to be made. It is tons of people everywhere. The funny thing is most people walk everywhere and take the subway or train to everyday destinations. The city is booming in technology. Their are flat screen Tvs on the side of buildings and neon lights everywhere. It’s truly a beautiful place. It was just so much to see. I believe in Japan almost every one owns a cell phone opposed to a land line because everyone I encountered had one. Also in Japan they like to have charms on their phone male and female do it. To have the opportunity to see the difference in the way they do things in Japan opposed to the US was a difference I will never forget. The culture is so rich I was just happy to be apart of it and around it.

NTT Docomo is truly the company of the future. With some of the leading technology of the future at their hands. Being at their company was a great experience. They took our group through a virtual tour of what their company could do through technology. For example they had this cool system where you could virtually dress your child in a outfit you picked at a store while they’re at home through a touch of a button. How it works is when you get in the store they scan your hand and take down your information then you are connected through the system. This invention could save so much time and less trips back to the store. Also I saw how you could use this rhythm motion detection with your hands to unlock doors, turn on TV, and turn lights on. All you do is connect this gadget to your hand of your choice follow the rhythm pattern that is for each object and tada it works. Overall I just loved this company their are leading the cell phone market in Japan.
