SMS is the biggest con game in telco history in the US. It costs nothing (piggybacks on existing tech) and they charge a fortune unless you flat rate it.

edit: sorry, I seem to be off-topic a lot lately....

Aye, afterschool activities are very common in the US (but you aren't encouraged to join a group or club whereas its kind of expected you will in Japan). Personally I think both the Japan and US educational systems could learn from each other.... (though usually school systems seem to glue on to the worst practices rather than "best practices")
