MP3 players - Almost everyone has an MP3 player and I’ve been wanting one since I arrived here. I badly needed one especially when I was working in Kobe. The 4-hour travel to and from work was so boring. But I have priorities so I was just contented visiting the electronics store and try out the samples.

Recently, our manager held this writing contest, in Japanese! I intended not to join but it was a bit embarrassing after he extended the deadline, and I’m glad I joined! Of course, I didn’t get one of the top awards but among the rest, I received gift certificates as a consolation prize that was almost enough to buy the cheapest MP3 player I could find.

I really wish to have an iPod Touch but right now, I’m more than contented to have a Creative Zen MP3 player:

Memory: 2 GB

File Format: MP3, WMA

Interface: USB 2.0

Dimension: 53.7×35.6×16 mm

Battery: Rechargeable, lasts for 20 hours if fully-charged

Now, the 20-minute walk to the station is no longer boring!
