I'll look around today. I haven't seen much cool stuff though to be honest. I'm here another 2 weeks, so I should be able to find something


Dont go out of your way. But if you see something in the 20 dollar range that is not available in the US and would just be "cool to have" let me know :)

Sign me up for the cool cheap stuff too.

Also, if you see any Ai Yori Aoshi or FLCL plushes please let me know how much they are. Don't go out of your way hunting them though. :)

Look I can still see the little gerbil up there waving. Does PETA know about your *fetish*?

I figured if I didn't write anything you'd understand since you can't read but boy you've got some imagination.

Well I didnt want to mention the 4 hamsters behind him all doing the YMCA....there is like a small animal party going on up there.

Oxymoron

what you talking about oxymorons, japanese school girls in their tiny skirts are hot

A) They`re under 17...most are maybe 14
B) I`ve seen maybe a handful of attractive girls since I `ve gotten here
C) Yes I know that I`m not using the single quote button, but that`s because I can`t find it on this keyboard and even if I could, there`s 4 symbols on each key so I wouldn`t know how to get it anyway

but, I took some cool pictures of a mountain today if that helps any!

Man, hope it's not too late. Akihabara DOESNT have the best price. They do have the biggest selection, but not the best price. Especially at the stroes with sign that says "TOURSIT Friendly or No Duty and stuff." I been to Japan a few times and small electronic stores are usually cheaper. You can haggle and they can usually do special orders for you if you know what you want with the model number and all.

I bought a MD player that was 16000yen at a small store and it was going for around 19000-19800yen at Akihabara and I even got some freebies.

If you like cars, make sure you go to Amlux in Ikebukuro. It is a 4 story (maybe 5) Toyota Show room.

LOL
11:35am here is 11:35pm in Japan :)

It is pretty far from Tokyo Tower if I remember correctly. There is a train station not far from the Amlux building. Maybe you can ask your friend or the hotel you staying.

If you live close to the Tokyo Tower, you can go to Rainbow bridge. They got a big Nissan showroom there too and a huge ferris wheel. The Fuji TV station is also there close to the rainbow bridge.

have a nice a safe trip :)
