I still say Neo should buy EA something. We could erm start a collection of various objects from around the globe...
Have fun though while you're there! :)
Also, erm Neo: if you have the opportunity to buy some cheap (as in really cheap) NES carts (pirate or otherwise) I'd be willing to pay you for them :D Heck, I guess I'd even buy some famicom carts. $20 max :D

lol "Do you have any swords?"
Have fun in Japan Neo and perhaps even take pics / post news of your journeys on your devjournal?
As we all know from Kill Bill, traveling samurai often take the plane. :P

Japanese lighters are cool, cheap, and will get a very high flame (or so I have heard) and I like lighters.

What's Japanese TV like? How many stations do they have? How much of it is anime? There's so much anime that it seems they must have wall to wall anime for programming. So, how much of it is on their TV programming in actuality?
And because you are on a trip in Japan, whether for business or pleasure, you must ask "tourist type questions". So, I thought up a couple of them for you.
Do the Japanese regularly travel with swords? Do the Japanese have sword crimes like we have gun crimes?
Hmmmmmm..... On second thought, you'd better not ask those questions. It may not be safe - or it will really make you look like an ubber tourist.
And just because someone's got me thinking on the subject below, here's an OFF TOPIC question for anyone to answer, - that is unless the answer to this is not already known (by everyone here, except me). So, I suppose one could say this is a question 'from the dumb question files', but I really don't know the answer to this one.
I read somewhere, I can't recall where, that the Japanese don't call anime 'anime', that 'anime' is an Americanism. If that's the case, what do the Japanese call 'anime'? (For example, Americans call American style animation 'cartoons', but we call Japanese cartoons 'anime').

If I went down thier, thier would be lighter/flamethrower crimes and sword crimes (I have 3 swords, one of which is Katana).

Do you know why the Japanese are so worried about swords? Ninjas! I mean, if you carry a sword, you might be a ninja. Since you're coming into the country, you're therefore likely a foreign ninja wannabe out to make a name for yourself / destroy Japan's supply of ninjas. They're just protecting their own ninjas.... not that ninja's need protection, but just in case...
