You get hassle in the local shops? unlucky. My local shopkeepers totally ignore me and suffer presence only because it keeps them in business. Yeah, I know there's a ton of news on the internet, but for those 15 mins in the morning on the train, a large bit of folding paper is way easier and quicker to get a glance at all the stories of the day then any computer screen. Very sorry to hear about your experience with FreeCyle. <abbr><em>Jon Allen’s latest blog post is...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ImASeoulMan/~3/di1aCkuyAyE/clinton-tells-north-korea.html" rel="nofollow">Clinton tells North Korea...</a></abbr></em> Thanks for the link.

I wouldn't recomment it because your company probably also pays an insurance for you when you commute. It's obviously not the same insurance by train or cycle. << In fact, I receive money to travel by train everyday, but cycle instead>>

Probably most notably Family Mart (knocks a good 14 yen or so off the ol' chuhai), but also Pizza Hut and Kentucky, off the top of my head (if you're into paying too much for pizza-n-bird). And Kimura Camera as well. Tried to find a comprehensive list of shops instead of the one that's on the official site, which is broken into categories according to kind of shop, but couldn't.
