Stay Free

Many free magazines are available in Tokyo at major stations, supermarkets and CD stores. A 80-page 'Metropolis' is the most popular free magazine for non-Japanese speakers. It carries information about entertainment, events, culture and news. Also classified ads for cars, job, real estate, and everything else.

'att.JAPAN' is free seasonal magazine that I recommend. It focus on Japan travel and culture in both Chinese and English. Why don't take one to obtain more tourist information, such as accommodations, transportation, restaurants and useful numbers, before you plan your next spot?

Besides the above two, I found 'ELLE cooking', available in some supermarkets, is definitely a handbook for cooking lovers. It carries a lot of recipes including Japanese, Italian and other cuisines. Now I have less stress on thinking what to cook for the rest of the week.

在東京主要車站、超級市場和唱片店等地,都有很多可以免費取閱的雜誌。對於外國人而言,一冊80頁的「Metropolis」算是最流行的免費雜誌了。其內容包括娛樂，活動，文化和新聞等資訊。此外還有汽車、求職、房地產等的分類廣告。

另一個推介是'att.JAPAN',它是一本免費的季刊。內容主要是介紹日本旅遊和文化，並以中英對照。大家也不妨在計劃下一個行程前,先看看這本雜誌,取多一點如住宿，交通，飲食等旅遊信息吧!

除了上述兩本雜誌,最近我在超市拿了一本烹飪雜誌'ELLE cooking'。這絕對是一本烹飪愛好者的手冊。內容包含大量的食譜，包括日本，意大利和其他各國的美食。我現在不用煩惱下一週該做什麼菜了。
