Hey there gang! As some of you may or may not know, I will be heading off to Japan to study abroad for this entire school year. I will be there for about 11 months and will be back in time for the next school year. So before I come back to the U.S. I would like to get some ideas as to what people would like me to bring back as gifts when I return. For example, Squirel would probably like some sort of Tohou gift because that is something that I have seen him have interest in. If you would like me to get you something while in Japan just go ahead and reply. If you do request a gift but won't be around when I return to Chico, just go ahead and PM me your address.
Or, if you all would like me to get you stuff and then have it mailed to one of the Club Officers, I could do that too so they can distribute the goods during club.

Well, I have no idea if anybody's even interested. And besides, I just joined up, so I doubt I'll count.

Get me butter and salt candy. I have been craving it since the SF trip but I can't find it anywhere, not even Japantown!

Dude, don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you. It's just such a big question, y'know? It's gonna take some thought on my part.

Well man, I got a list.
1. Catch Godzilla, make it lay an egg. Maybe then I can make an omelet with it breaking...
2. Documented proof of you purchasing wares from unscrupulous vending machines in broad daylight. You know the ones I am talking about.
3. A lock of Keiji Inafune's hair. Or Keiji Inafune. Not really particular, it's going into the attic eventually, either way.
4. The Gundam standing in Odaiba Park. It would be nice if you could translate all the gizmos and buttons in it for me too.
5. An authentic Japanese tea cup. One which, many years later, I can pull out of a cupboard to drink tea from and when my grand kids ask if they can have some I can say, "No."
To be honest, I think 5 is the easiest and I only want one thing.

lets see i think i can come up with a list of things,
1. the original Godzilla suit used in the original movie
2. super hardcore* fan-made of items of the comic variety
*super hardcore being better then BDS9 (check the lord of the rings south park episode if you don't understand)
3. Get me a picture of Tatsuhiko Takimoto (i would like to know what this dude looks like) and/or i will settle for his autograph. actually Jin Kobayashi's autograph would be cooler though now that i think about Tite Kubo's would also work. though i am willing to settle with a random Japanese person's signature as well.
4. A mini version of the monster of the week attacking Japan would be pretty sweet too now that i think about it.
5. now this one is going to be tricky... like a cool little cellphone charm/ keychain thing, of an anime character like from clannad, angel beats, Haruhi or whatever. Pretty much as long as its not super girly or obscene im cool. also something NOT[/i] [/u] from Naruto or One piece or DBZ would also be a plus.
Five being probably the easiest and my actual choice. though if you are down to try the rest of them good luck. though i would assume the last part of 3 would be fairly easy.

Hmm... this will take some thinking. Will you have a resident card? If so, does that mean you could rent (and rip *evil grin*) dvds & cds? There are some thing's i'd happily pay for...

Ray, I have decided. I have 3 things you must either do or acquire for me.
1. You must go to a con. I don't care which one, but one.
2. You must acquire for me something anime/manga related that I would enjoy. You know me well enough. I entrust you.
3. You must acquire something Japanese that you felt was highly representative of your life over there. It must NOT be nerd related. Again, I leave myself in your capable hands.
These are my tasks three...
Actually, I have a fourth. You must really see the country. Don't just stay in Tokyo. Get out there and see the mountains, the plains, the forests, the beaches, and everything else. Live the dream dude, don't let anything hold you back.

Well, it's nearing the holiday season, and I am still willing to take suggestions.

I will only update this post once more after this. Otherwise, no gifts after last post.
So, get crackin' on writing up those suggestions!

Ignoring my last strand of irresponsible requests, I would like an Epyon Gundam model kit.

Took me a while to remember to post, but my request is somewhat simple. All I want is a full sized Japanese flag, and not an Imperial one, have that already.
Sounds simple enough, but if it's like when I went to Canada, took two separate trips to find a real flag, not like plastic ones.
