6 % sales tax is nothing, where I live (Quebec, Canada) there is a 7% general sales tax (the famous GST), as well as a 7.5% provincial sales tax that is charge over the price of the good and the GST (I'm paying taxes on my taxes!!) . It comes up to around 15%.

I feel for ya bro. If there's anything your looking for in Japan let me know and I'll try to track it down for ya. I got the Love Hina game for the Dreamcast for 20 bucks, where on the net the cheapest is like 60 bucks. So put me on the case and aviod that nasty sales tax.

Living in Japan has to be great. I need to take a vacation there with empty suitcases and fill em full of awesome stuff. I have been learning japanese for quite sometime now and I am fully confident I can converse on many subjects with the locals. 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O

Hey man you name the time & date you want to come and I'll provide a Room for you to sleep in. Plus my mom will cook some great food for us all, just ask Schultz he comes over for dinner all the time. Plus I have a traditional Japanese Tatamie mat room so you can sleep just like they do.

Thanks for the offer. I would love to play the Love Hina dreamcast game but I dont have a dreamcast and I dont know japanese, oh well. If I can think of something I'll let you know . I read somewhere that you were interested in Final Fantasy Unlimited. I got most of the series in mpeg4 and I'm suppose to get the rest soon so if you want it just drop me a message. I'm interested in yushio and tora , so we'll make a trade or something.

Yeah the sales tax is a bitch but at least Import Anime doesn't charge GST ( Now I know why JJ only works in US funds :wink: :wink: )

GST stands for Goods and Services Tax, not General Sales Tax heh

in PEI (Prince Edward Island) the total GST and PST comes out to 22 or 25% tax.... on top of property tax.... income tax.... road tax... license tax.... and about 20 other taxes that regular joe pays for every day stufff... canadians probably earn a dime on every dollar after taxes ;p

Suzakuseikun you are the man... I have been looking everywhere for Rina dolls...I mean Lina Dolls.... Ha Ha

matthewmalay I hear ya I speak very little Japanese and can't read any form but the game is fun and you can muddel youtr way through. As for the FFU / Y&T Swap you got it man. Just e-mail me your address.

Hey JJ think of this for a moment if the US Military is payed for by tax dollars and I have to pay taxes... Does that mean I'm paying myself or should I thank Schultz each week for my pay check...Hummm

[JunkieJoe]

it means they want u to think u are making X amount of dollars while in reality u are making X/2 number of dollars hehe

Do you live on a military base? Your mom lives in japan too? Your a lucky bastard. I need to find out how much a ticket costs and start savin up. Dark Osamu says " He wants to come too". I like seeing that other people that come here have seen each other in the " real" world. 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O

[Steve_the_Talking_Pie]

I avoid outside world contact. :mrgreen:


On another note, are people who are affiliated with HK DVDs in the military? Schultz, NYxCalm, Joseph Henderson.......does the military give you DVDs for signing up? :mrgreen:

[kakoi_sugoi_yama]

If they did I would probably be there now. The military is definitely a cheaper way to see the world. You can't go outside steve the sun will fry you white skin into crispy ashes. 8O 8O 8O

Not to mention the gnomes will steal my shoes. :mrgreen:

Right now I live off base, in "moderen Japanese home" but it still has it's rooms that are very traditional. Dark Osamu and you are both welcome to come and stay/visit for a while. We could all take a trip to Main land as well. Oh and if you don't know schultz and me are stationed at the same base so you have two people to hang with and know. And ask schultz my Mom can cook.

Ticket prices vary from $1000 to $700 but if you would like a quote I'll find out for you. I brought my mom here for $640 (from LA to here) now here ticket from Indy to LA cost $200 so in all $840

[kakoi_sugoi_yama]

Sweet. I should save money to do that. Ever since I was little I always thought I would love to go there. I mean they just have so much stuff. I wanted to go there to teach english, but you have to be a certified teacher. That is why I am going to substitute teach first. I gotta make sure I am going to like it. 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O

One thing that sucks, is that their porn is censored.

Kakoi buy a shit load of Nutech DVDs. Single Nutech DVDs sell for about $100 US dollars there. No foolin'. :mrgreen:
