Oh, but there inside the house,
Upon the hearth, a lovely sight.
For there sat He, in quiet repose,
The One who keeps the flame aglow.

Keitai denwa (mobile phones) are ubiquitous in Japan, even amongst kids, as Riho demonstrates here. She’s got a blinged out red phone with a camera, internet, and everything. My own phone isn’t even 10% as pimp as this.

“…Decerto não morreram, os meus fletes,
e vivem nos rincões dos intermúndios…
Um dia irei fazer a recolhida,
hão de reconhecer a minha sombra
e o velho amigo que, como eles e com eles,
- campo afora –
esquecia a dor da vida
nos desesperos das atropeladas…”

Trecho de “Os fletes”, de Aureliano de Figueiredo Pinto
Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
