Apple Store Grand Opening

So yesterday I was one of the first 1500 people to enter the brand new Apple Store in the Sakae district of Nagoya, Japan. Kevin and I watched as the iPod shuffles got attacked by an angry mob, some people buying half a dozen shuffles in a single purchase. Within 10 minutes of entering the store, the shuffles had sold out, and there was still at least a 5 hour line waiting in the freezing cold outside. We probably should have told everybody that they had sold out, but my whole body was still frozen from having waited since 6AM outside the store after a full night of karaoke. While neither Kevin nor I made any purchases, we did get free Apple Store - Sakae t-shirts and got to groove to the music of the in-store DJ. Deciding he wanted a shuffle after all, we headed to MacMall near Nagoya station, but of course they were also sold out. After a pair of speakers, I was disappointed at the hiked price I found there. The high point of the day was definitely the meal at Wendy's afterwards, where we reminisced about the "think of something hot" spicy-chicken commercial.

And wouldn't you know it, I finally discovered a program on my computer that will allow me to choose JPEG export quality. I may fix some of the photos I've already posted (that look terrible due to Paint's poor export quality). I already borrowd iPhoto to fix up those Hong Kong pics.
