Hi there everyone, I'm going to Japan in a few days, and I want to have some idea of what I will want to buy before I get there, especially in Akihabara (I'm going around Tokyo, Kyoto & Chiba). My question for you all is what I can or should get in Japan that:
A) Has some sort of lasting appeal/value (something nice to show people, something I could use in everyday life, etc.)
B) Better (more features, better quality etc.) OR cheaper than getting it from Canada/America
C) Usable outside of Japan (game consoles and dvd's will, for the most part, be reigon coded)
D) Something other than a katana,kimono, etc. (those are pretty much givens)
E) It doesn't have to be electronic, but that is likely what I'll be focusing on
I should also add that I speak enough Japanese to get by, as well as traveling with some fluent people, so communication shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks in advance.
