Can we get back to the fact that you can buy an ipod from a vending machine? I mean, I live in the LAND of the vending machine (Tokyo) and we can't do that.
I must move back to America, before I completely lose touch!!





I got my current camera at such a vending machine in the front of a Stop & Shop supermarket of all places. Next to it was another machine selling high-end cosmetics (Elizabeth Arden, I think). A few months later the machine selling electronics (this one also had Ipods and suchlike) vanished but the one selling cosmetics remains, so I guess sales of gadgets at this location weren't up to their expectations. Which is kinda odd because this store already has lots of cosmetics on their regular shelves, but not Ipods...

These machines are from this outfit:

That's really interesting, but it doesn't surprise me that much. For all its technological advancement, Japan is very wary of new ways to do things.
