Here’s to working hard and saving up for the next 10 years of my life! yea optimism! (Actually, I’m beginning to think a homestay or a gaijin house would be the way to go… most definitely..)
The system they use to sort messages is amazing, as is the massive amount of storage space in the entire account. The only downside is it’s so awesome, I find myself dependant; I couldn’t go back to Yahoo! or Hotmail anymore, it’s just not the same. And you hardly get any Spam/junk mail (unless you signed up for something, that is. Learned that one the hard way.)
