Japan

What are some cool things to get in japan? I mean gadget-wise?

My sis is there on vacation and asked me if I wanted anything. I can't think of what to get

Post up any suggestions and it has to be something where she can carry it back with her.

Oh yah.......AND NO ****!!

I'll assume you meant "no ****", right?

I saw in MaximumPC magazine they have a watch with a USB connector, but it also is able to store data. Sort of like those little USB keychains that hold like 128MB of data.

Also saw they have watch that flips out into a phone. But I think I read that the phones only work on their networks (for now at least).

I'm pretty sure there's alot of cool stuff over there that we can only dream of right now. Maybe some miniature cameras to mount in your ride?

Why no ****? Oh come on, it is not like she is going to watch it or whatever.

The stuff in Japan is all about packaging, down to the last candy which is wrapped so nicely. Get some nice suveniors I guess.

Ya car parts a not easy to bring. A set of dampers would be nice...

Exclamation magazines, videos

if i were u i'd ask her to go to the mag/video stores
look for hyper-rev magazines, the editions that specialize on the ek or other civics for that matter. oh and get the ae86 editions and the vitz edition for me!


also, option vcds/dvds, the ones that cover the D1 grand prix
drift tengoku, hot version, etc just to name a few...

however, the dvds might have a problem playing on our dvd players, so just get vcd's instead
