Second Hand MangaBOOK OFF is one of my favourite chains; they're practically everywhere (about 90 branches in Tokyo alone) and they tend to have great deals, especially for Europeans like me. :)
However, it's a pity they were taken over by Tsutoya; the old yellow di...
Tokyu HandsOh yeah. Tokyu Hands is the shit when it comes to just about anything DIY and then some.
Love to snoop around there, getting ideas for casemods and things around the house.
We have an ample supply of DIY-shops, but those are clearly focused on DIY...
DS TV TunerNow that's cool. :) Doesn't cost nearly as much as I anticipated; I wonder whether it's compatible with the digital signal here in Holland.

Laptop VS DesktopOn a dessert island? I'd probably go for some dessert first, or did you mean a deserted island? ;)
Laptops are wholesome; compact and light, but most often lack computing power (unless you say goodbye to an arm and a leg, and throw in your left kidn...

Too bad it doesn't keep you from potentia...
Ikea JapanThe majority of my house is furnished through IKEA; I love the concept, and they are indeed very cheap.
The display case you show in the article is even cheaper there compared to here, thanks to the cheap yen; €60 in Japan, while €79 over here.

Safety in JapanAt home, I usually lock my doors, but I tend to forget to lock it sometimes.
I live in a reasonably safe neighbourhood, where social control is quite high, so people tend to watch out for each other and their properties.
When I'm in Japan, I too en...
Japanese ManualsMost manuals here in NL contain just about every language in a 10.000km radius and the kitchen sink.
Fortunately, most manufacturers split the manuals, so you can get rid of Swedish, Portugese, Italian, Polish, Greek and whatnot, and just keep the D...

Anime FansubWell, I liked them both; the English dub didn't sound half bad, and it just flowed.
It's really important, especially regarding songs like this, that the lyrics don't sound awkward.
In general, I prefer the original, though, so that makes me part o...
