... but is only available overseas (mainly Asia)?

I know a lot of you buy stuff from HK or China.... etc.
I do too. I mean, all my phones are imported, as well as a lot of other things.

There's this Hello Kitty Mini MahJong set I want (OMG IT'S PINK!) but sigh, only in Hong Kong.


What's something you really want but is only available overseas?

    let me get this straight....
    the person in question washed their hands and rags in what i can only presume to be a river/creek? now apart from all the bacteria thats in there naturally, im sure the sewage and other waste go into the same water body...
    ok even if that assumption is wrong this video fails on FoodSafe on so many levels...

    umm not as easy? have you even tried? better yet do u have a slight clue what ur talking about ?

    keep in mind aircare is going byebye in 2011
    It is considered unlikely that any new contractor would be willing to enter the marketplace for a program that may potentially end in 2011 and for which there are no fixed facilities in place.
    so aircare out of the way u only have that other gay law to bypass...
    now 2years ago i know there was a serious change to candas import policy which now allows for european cars to come (which would've all failed the front end collision tests) ill get a source for this soon

    but reguardless of the above points an r32's are all over the place ... u can go to any ricer car lot and find one, if u want good condition ones go to Victoria they dont have aircare and thus there are a ton more importers...

    and r32? why would u get one of those when u could have an r34 :omg:

    r34 on bc roads with regular plates (not demo or kitcar or collector)
