Their cell phones are their KI. They do everything with them and are always talking into them or keying something (especially mousmé (young girls), but that's the same all over the world).
Most often those are bigger things, with all kinds of functions we don't have (such as TV), they come in all colors and decor, often have some trinkets dangling from them. They are completely incompatible with GSM and other Western standards.
I'm in Kyoto now and deeply disappointed with my room. I mean my cell. There's no room for my suitcase! It's about 7 x 7 feet, with a tiny bathroom. There's no air-conditioning. It,s a smoking room. All that for 94$ a night. Good thing I won't have much time to spend inside.
