[Cheng]

My dad is going, and I'm wondering whats cool to get from there?
Can be other stuff apart from computers, like gadgets :)

#1 No hentai ! :p
#2 No aibos, 2 damn expensive and not worth it :(

but seriously there is so much that japan has to offer i bet you could get some electronics for very cheap

[Cheng]

yeah, electronics, such as?

You have to remember that AFTER you come back and you try it out and it doesn't work, you're buggered....

[Cheng]

which means....you can't just spend £200 for a new radeon....and then find out that half of it is missing...etc. etc.

[Frodo Baggins]

MD players lol. My japanese freinds got them for real cheap down there and they are so much better then the ones we can get in northAm

get something:
that doesn't need drivers
has the ability to run off of batteries or american power
you can actually use (i.e. even the buttons are in english)

also, remember the tax to bring the stuff into the country.

You mean 'Sake'

Something about rice wine just seems off to me, however.

Sake is great.. all the drunkeness but none of the hangover :)

I would suggest.. MiniDisk, digicam and any cell phone you can find that will run off an avaliable technology such as G3 or GSM phones.

Or you could always go to the vending machiens and buy school girls panties

[Cheng]

heheh, I got a nice digital camera (Canon Powershot G2) from there last time...good idea, I might get a nice mp3 cd player...
Cell phone...will that work in good ol' uk?

And vending machines + panties = WTF?!

[Jeff Bolton]

sake = teh nasty.

Japan is the best place for phones, minidiscs, and cars.
