Summary: <br> Ok well, maybe not a full episode, but a short one minute clip I put together before heading out for the night. Earlier today, Alex and I tore up Tokyo by bike. Stopping at Akihabara to get an <a href="https://www.findingjapan.com/2006/10/17/91/">Ebi-Filet</a>, I began playing with my cell phone’s bar code reader. I was amazed at how fast it read the bar code.<br> The bar codes (also known as <a href="http://www.denso-wave.com/qrcode/index-e.html">QR codes</a>) are in a square format and contain text information, usually a URL. In this case, McDonald’s publishes all of their nutritional information this way. Want to know how many pounds that Choco-Pie is going to add on? Just whip out your keitai and check it out. Man, I do love Japan! Enjoy!<br> Upcoming episodes for those who cannot wait to hear, I’ve got some great material coming up: Getting stopped by the cops on bike in Japan, making elephant characters out of hotdogs (video), and my first full week in a Japanese office. Stay tuned.<br> Alternative <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8189427217552460831">video link</a> (Google Video)<br>
