I didn't fully make it. :ashamed: I just made it a bit more biologically correct. ;)

I asked someone to get a photobook from Japan for me...anyone know how much they would cost, I mean in US or CAN $ ?

Do you know the Yen cost?

in my experience of being in Japan...photobooks vary in price and can be found in most bookstores in Japan, book-first, kinokuniya, etc....

most cost anywhere from 1800-2800 yen, to 3200 yen and higher..
new releases are about $30 US, give or take...

been running again, preparing for a short race this weekend....i ran about three times this week, totaling 9 miles.

What's a kinokuniya?

and for the yen cost, I think 3200 seems high.

But $30.00 is cool.


9 miles of running- whoa! I have gym Friday, and I have to particpate- BOOOO!

OH! and Nodame is finally in the Top 50! YAY! :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Kinokuniya is a bookstore chain in Japan, they also have stores on the West Coast of the U.S. 2 in the L.A. also San Francisco and I think one in either San Jose or Seattle (or maybe both!) and 3200 yen is about $30.00. 1 yen is about 1 cent U.S. [/list:u]

AH! Okay that sounds reasonable. Thanks for the info again :)

most photobooks are around 30 dollars....that i have seen in Tokyo.

Kinokuniya, as Gaijin Mark says, there are chains here in the US, some Kinokuniya stores i've visited are, San Jose, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Costa Mesa.

9 miles....yea, three different times, 3 miles each time, although i have once ran 8 miles in an 1hr 40 min, usually i like to keep my runs not too long, and consistant. If i were training for a 10k race, i would probably up the miles to 4 to 6 miles each time, two to three times a week.

Kinokuniya is everywhere :beaten: they even have it here. but the price is just unreasonable for broke highschool stundents :hehe: . I've always wanted an An-An :shamefulcry: :hehe:

question! the signature limit is a total of 500x150. does that mean we can use a sig as long as it doesn't exceed 7500 pixels in total? so we can actually use a 375x200 pixels sig?

Not here. :(

No. The picture can't be bigger than 500 pixels wide by 150 high. It can be smaller, but not bigger. There's also a limit to the file size, 200kb for both avatar and sig, IIRC.

And people that work for a living as well. The only thing I buy at Kinokuniya is calendars. I will pop in about once a month to see what they've got, then wait for it to show up used at Book-Off. I'm sure when they see me walk in they think, 'Here comes that cheap gaijin that never buys anything!" :beaten: [/list:u]

500x150 is the maximum limit for BOTH dimensions as the Posting Guidelines states. :sweat:

you can use a 375x200 sig, but it doesn't mean we wont delete it. :twisted:

Good point.

It'll keep us busy. :beaten:

I've noticed a lot of dead threads have been unearthed or ressurected. A lot of them are kind of pointless and "wth."

Yeah, a bit of noob "thread archaeology" :P
