    Default the good things about japan

    Ok, wlel ive been here for like 2 weeks now and here is my results of first impressions

    There IS A UNIVERSAL SIGN FOR LOST (look at a sign and do the WTF look)
    Japaneese people are really nice, and will help you even if you cant understand them, but they really do try.

    THey have crazy cops that wear helmets in the car, and will apparently chase you until their car is broke, crashed, rolled, or run off a cliff.

    people really do drift in the middle of intersections

    I spent 161 dollars on a bad ass phone, you can watch TV (captures TV waves over hte air), play MP3s on a scandisk card, take photos, videos, record voice, and scan barcodes, not to mention has a built in 3.2 megapixel camera, a little light thing, and an FM radio....really nifty, and a good buy i think

    The mcdonalds, while smaller portions, is infinately greater in taste value

    cars are dirt cheap, and so are parts
    Tein, buddy club, jic 700-800 for full coilover sets used, sometimes cheaper. Tailights, 40-60 bucks, guages 40-70 bucks (greddy, hks, spexi)
    Power FC and commander package, 600 bucks
    the HKS EVC (isnt that the HKS computer) 400 bucks
    crazy hott deals

    bride seats 150 bucks

    also, its funny how when the japaneese people work in a fast food establishment, they act like it syour gift to them to come in there and provide your business, well anywhere really, but yet in america, they see it as they are doing you a favor by being there, which isnt the case.

    Overall, it means that they are a much friendlier people, with much more respect for others, and a greater friendliness in all.

    that is all

    oh yeah, and i got hte best deal on a car than anyone on the site lol, had to mention

    cool. I really want to get their fold down mirrors for the Infiniti G35 (Skyline 350GT?) that they had over there. But then again, their cost of living is pretty high. Some are cheap, but the rest are ridiculously expensive

    Yeah I was stationed in Okinawa (Kadena AB) when I was in the Air Force... I'd move back to Japan in a heartbeat. Just stay away from the "Juicy Girls" LOL. And do NOT drink the Soju either... LOL

    yeah I met this guy at an Atlanta Itnl. Airport who told me that he lives there and he teaches English Slang. NOw I thought that in it self what pretty cool then he told me that he makes $30 an hour per student that he teachs. now that is dope of course cost of living being higher will demand higher pay rates but still shit I coul live in my car for one year then come back here and live it up.

    Are the Brides real though, most asian countries don't have the copyright laws we do and can get away with reproducing everything nearly exact....the microfiber Recaros over there (just like the JDM ITR) are $250 a pair and nearly impossible to distinguish the differance...the logo is even embroidered on the seat, not just screen printed or anything.

    Need to talk to a freight company, get together a couple grand and pack a crate full of a couple pairs of seats, some suspension, engine, and misc. parts etc. to sell back here. I know a few people that do it...they'll go over there to visit family, crate it up themselves, then ship it back...shortly after they get back themselves the big box of goodies arrive
