I have created a Skype account, so people will be able to contact me easily whilst I am in Japan. The program is very easy to use and as long as you have a microphone and speakers you will be able to make a call to me on your computer for free. The quality is actually better than using a landline as well, although I suppose that depends on the quality of your microphone etc - but I am only using a cheap microphone and it works fine. Once you have installed Skype, you can add me as a contact and give me a ring - my username is LightJack.
