[Make it Lady (OP)]

I'm taking a trip to Japan soon and would like to know what are the best buys in Japan as far as technology is concerned. Are there things worth buying that are only available in Japan?

Can anyone help?

How about a flexible phone?

I believer there is now a Blu Ray & DVD burner-reader combo now on the market on the web that they want over $1000 for. But in Japan or a duty free port it would be a lot cheaper. But drivers???

Wow oh wow!!!
That flexible mobile-phone is a beauty!  []

[DoctorBeaver]

Yes, Seany. You could wear it as a hair band!  []

[Seany]

Are you suggesting I am a girl, Doc? []

[DoctorBeaver]

Not at all. I sometimes wear a hairband.

[Seany]

LOL What did you mean []

[DoctorBeaver]

I used to play Rugby Union as opposed to Rugby League.

[Seany]

What does that mean LOL

[Make it Lady (OP)]

I don't even think they know the difference.

Anyway Virgin Airline have just sent me a nice magazine telling me all about the best places for gadget buying. I'm so excited. I lived in Japan 21 years ago and haven't been back since.

[DoctorBeaver]

What does that mean LOL

There is a sport called rugby, and there are 2 sets of rules - Rugby Union & Rugby League.

[Seany]

Yes I know about the sport lol..
Don't know about the differences between Union and League!

[i am bored]

[DoctorBeaver]

I wouldn't expect an American to know the difference. But Seany? Where in England do you live?
