I don't think there are widely available Bluetooth services in North America anyways, and the stuff they have over there are just prototypes...

But seriously... anyone know what the district is called?

As I said, I'm going to be around the Tokyo and Kyoto areas. So this "autobach" is a chain kinda store? Would you happen to know the JR stations that these stores are close to?

Bluetooth sucks *ss: no applications, short range and slow. 802.11b is much cooler, but the real shiznit is going to be 3G in about a year (if you believe the insiders at Sprint...)

But autobachs is like EVERYWHERE though. Just ask someone in tokyo.

You can pick up pokemon toys that haven't made it to U.S. shores yet. The japanese are far ahead of us in terms of Pokemon. While we were playing with our pikachus, they already had their bigger and badder pokemons.

Post Going to Japan... where can I buy... STUFF??

I know the electronics district is called Ahkiharaba (I *know* I spelled that wrong), but I really want to go to the automotive district so I can buy all those knick knacks for a really low price! I'm sure there's a whole area devoted to that stuff!

Plus I'm gonna see if they have any of those Aqua capsules

I'm going to be around the Tokyo area, maybe Kyoto as well.

P.S. Don't ask me to get you stuff, I only have one small bag that I can stuff PIAA bulbs into

Yeah I know, the reason I wrote it that way was because always visit Kyoto, our family loves the bullet train

I wish I COULD ask someone in Tokyo but I don't speak a word of Japanese. Thanks a TON for your info though.

Hmmm are you sure this phrase won't get me arrested by the police?

Bah, I'm Chinese... and although a lot of my friends mistake me for Japanese I don't the girls will think too highly of some look-a-like dude that can't speak a word of Japanese
