Kuda's trip to Japan: What to buy?

[Skuda]

Hey guys. Long time no chat.

I've been in japan for a little more than a week and I'm in school right now. it's about 12:20 pm.

Geez, This place already feels like home!

um... I have no clue what to buy...

I've bought a few Gundams and an anime drawing set (ink and such) (I want to buy some good anime markers. a set of 100 is like 50000[$500 about] en!)

do foreign DVD's and games work on our english systems? please tell me before I buy some and it doesn't work.

Did you guys know Animal crossing came out on the N64 here?

Buy a life supply of Pocky.






. . . and then share. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Animal Forest I believe http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_yes.gif And I guess Animal Forest + was the GC version? I just remember reading about it before.

No, the DVDs won't work.. stupid region systems. Look on the back and find a little globe on it, it should show the region information.

REGION 1 -- USA, Canada
REGION 2 -- Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 -- S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 -- Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
REGION 5 -- Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 -- China
REGION 0 or REGION ALL -- Discs are uncoded and can be played Worldwide, however, PAL discs must be played in a PAL-compatible unit and NTSC discs must be played in an NTSC-compatible unit.

That would be right.

Damn you and having money while in Japan. My buying choices while there tend to run to "should I buy spaghetti and two sauce packets for 300 yen or go to McDonalds and get 3 hamburgers for 240 yen for dinner tonight?"

Poor Arislan. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Anyway. Kuda, unless you are prepared to get a region-free DVD player, or going to get those switching regions software, dont buy any game/DVD/software type thing in Japan. You can buy CDs, they will work. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Don't buy anything but the essentials,

and stay as long as you can.

Maybe the occasional pocky treat for studying hard http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Zzzzzz]

Buy anything rare that's not too expensive that you like. And games!

[Skuda]

So, all the hot japanese chicks come from the same place as the ugly japanese chicks? That's amazing.

you can get those anywhere, i could have an ak-47 by now if id had any money

[Tact]

Kuda...some words of wisdom...DON'T TRY THE FUGU!!! I repeat, DON'T TRY THE FUGU!!! Fugu is a Japanese dish made from a species of poisonous blowfish. If prepared incorrectly, eating fugu can mean death. So, never eat fugu unless you're up for a game of Japanese Roulette. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif But, that was no wacko-ing matter. :self-disapprove:
