It's intended for people who don't have mobile phones that work in Japan, hence gaijin. Link to post Share on other sites

journey_man 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Does anyone actually use it? It looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It's not in the middle of nowehere actually. Route 17 is a very busy road and this is just on the side of the road between Yuzawa and Ishiuchi. Having said that, I can't recall ever seeing anyone use it! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted March 26, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've never seen anyone use it either. I have seen muikabochi taking a photo of it though. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted April 7, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 7, 2009 I went past the phone box just before. There was a guy standing there relieving himself on the side of the phone box! In full view of everyone. Thats just not acceptable! Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Maybe he thought it was a lift? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 People often piss on lifts?? Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 see the thread ... here Link to post Share on other sites
journey_man 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think bag might have meant ski lifts... Sounds kinda difficult! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I suspect he did. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 But I was referring to the other thread! On a ski lift it'd be damn near impossible! Hard enough to find it, let alone do something with it! Link to post Share on other sites
