Underground of Tokyo station is very complicated, unless you know exact exit, you would be lost, absolutely !
Yes, I was lost before, dear me…
QR code offers you the information around there.

In Japan, these days QR code became popular than last year.
Many websites offer their mobile sites with QR code, and you will see advertisements in a train also place QR code on.
But, it is a bit weird using your mobile phone’s camera in a train, isn’t it ? At least I can’t do in the packed train !!

Our friends over at MobileMonday Tokyo have announced their first event for 2006: the
MoMo Tokyo New Year
Shinnenkai, to take place at the fabulously wonderful Ruby
Cafe in Azabu-Juban starting at 7pm on January 30 (日本語版).

Bravo to them on choosing such an auspicious space for the first
MoMo Tokyo event of this year. And bravo to them for all the work
they’ve done and continue to do in putting together what has become
the very best regularly scheduled IT/tech-related event going on in
Tokyo.

The shinnenkai (new-year party) event looks to be purely a
networking/social event; presentations will start up again at next
month’s event (planned for the MTV cafe in Harajuku). Their record for
putting together past
presentations has been outstanding and has covered a lot of ground
(Opera Browser for 3G Mobile Phones, Chaku-Uta, mobile Flash, and
color codes, to name just a few) – so I’m sure we have
some interesting things to look forward to at upcoming MoMo Tokyo
presentations this year.

The event is free as long aa you register for
it. (There’s no registration deadline given at the site, but in
the past, it’s typically been the Friday before the day of the
event, which would make the deadline January 27 this month.)

Anyway, I’ll be there, probably outfitted as usual with keitai in
one hand, tallboy in the other – though I might also be in my
solid citizen disguise. So please show up and, well, buy me a
drink. Buy me several drinks.
