Subject: Re: Oh yeah... Author: Paul Nepywoda [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:03:01 05/30/03 Fri In reply to: Dena 's message, "Oh yeah..." on 19:18:28 05/28/03 Wed Well I certainly didnt come here just to get Pocky...its just in almost every grocery store or small place like it. I might be in Akihabara tomorrow again so maybe Ill be able to check out some soundtracks. DVDs are basically all region 2 here..and theyre not necessarily cheaper either. The newest episode of Inuyasha for instance is over $30 in US dolars as an example. >Pocky? I'm assuming you go to UIUC to find this forum, >right?
