26 Days to go and Preparing

Less than a month to go!
Visa's ready, what's next?
I should be preparing, err, prepared!
How should I prepare myself

Stuff to know (in no particular order):
1) Conversational Japanese
I need to refresh my broken Japanese
2) Basic geography and transportation
How not to get lost in Japan

Well, we're going to take a trip on our own, oh no!
Maybe purchasing / borrowing a travel guide will help
Learn of nice places to visit
3) Will my cellphone work
And what I need to do with it before leaving

Yeah, I'm using a Nokia 3120 classic (yeah, budget phone) and it says in one forum that I can use it as a phone and for Internet since it's a 3G phone. Let's see. Now, to activate roaming?
Let's check out the Smart website.
4) How to use chopsticks.
Or else I'm gonna starve or I'll have to use my hands
or bring a fork in my pocket everywhere we go, hehehe!
5) All the nice technology
I need to learn about to make more out of our stay

- ubiquitous computing
- robotics
- simulation and modeling
- networks

This will definitely require a lot of reading!
