Can I write more if I can think of anything?


I need to research so I will know what to do and what not to do.

Here in the Philippines:

Can I download Japanese episodes of Pokemon?

Yes, you can download any videos - TV series or movies - as long as you will not sell them. But there are people who still sell them. It's that the Philippine movie industry is against it because of the low sales of their movies. Imported movies are still sellable though

Can I download DS games and others?

Yes, you can download games unlimited because of the unlimited bandwith and there are no laws about gaming. You can still buy download pirated games

Can I download private Japanese musics?

as long as you dont sell them, you can. but you can buy downloaded songs in the malls

Can I buy flashcarts?

yes. you can buy them at a mall near you. it's rare to buy online

Can I survive the Norther Hemisphere coldness?

you live in a hot tropical country.

Can I find a girlfriend in Canada?

I hope you can find a girlfriend in Canada as the ones near you are so hard headed

Can I write more if I can think of anything?

Be my guess[/quote]

Basically yes to every question. I live in the states, and I don't see why it would be any different for Canada.

Also, you can be my guess too.

Yes to every question. There are some sellers in Canada specifically that sell flashcarts. This means that they have to be getting their stock from overseas/importing - so yeah.

The girlfriend thing, all women aren't the same, so yeah - you can get a girlfriend in Canada.

Can I download private Japanese musics (Anime OSTs if I cant buy from Play asia)? Sure.
Can I buy flashcarts? (customs will not confiscate it? I heard one person's flashcart was confiscated in the US) Yep! That's one of the reasons why Canada is awesome!
Can I survive the Norther Hemisphere coldness? Lol. It's not that cold.
Can I find a girlfriend in Canada? Yes.
What is the best GSM/3G provider for my Tri-band 3G Nokia phone? Bell, I guess.
What is the best Internet plan I can get in Canada? I have an unlimited plan of 1Mbps. Best? Rogers has a 50 Mbps (I think) service. It has a cap.
Are the Malls in Canada has everything like PC parts and game consoles? I hate ordering online. Yep!
Can I write more if I can think of anything? Uh...ya.[/quote]

[quote name='Chris_Skylock' post='2543508' date='Jan 19 2010, 10:07 AM']Can I download Japanese episodes of Pokemon? Yes, but if you use Torrents you'll most likely get a ISP warning. Just download them somewhere else.
Can I download DS games and others? Same as this one ^ Torrents = bad, everything else = good
Can I download private Japanese musics (Anime OSTs if I cant buy from Play asia)? ^
Can I buy flashcarts? (customs will not confiscate it? I heard one person's flashcart was confiscated in the US) I've ordered a few before with no issues. I even brought one on a plane and they didn't care. I've never heard of any issues. NOTE: Never, ever, order something overseas by UPS or FedEx! You'll get hit with a HUGE fee. (I've been hit $45 on a $75 item!)
Can I survive the Norther Hemisphere coldness? Don't fight the cold, live with it. Get into some winter sports and you'll be fine. Try skiing.
Can I find a girlfriend in Canada?
What is the best GSM/3G provider for my Tri-band 3G Nokia phone? Rogers or Fido. Bell and Telus don't use SIM cards.
What is the best Internet plan I can get in Canada? I have an unlimited plan of 1Mbps. TekSavvy is the best. $40 for 5Mbps/down and 800Kbps/up with unlimited bandwidth.
Are the Malls in Canada has everything like PC parts and game consoles? I hate ordering online Sure, but you'll have to pay a mark up of 50% and over. In other words, forget it unless you like buying overpriced stuff.
Can I write more if I can think of anything? Fact: Canadians are nice. [/quote]

I live in Toronto! The heart and soul of Canada. Not really.

I saw an Acekard 2i at the Eaton Centre for $30!

That would be Ottawa.

That's not half bad... Still over priced since DX sells them for less with free shipping.

Yes, but if you use Torrents you'll most likely get a ISP warning. Just download them somewhere else.

That's what Im afraid of now someone confirmed it. I guess I will have to live with US Pokemon from now on now that I CANT get it from a certain dedicated pokemon torrent site. I can buy DVDs from Malls, isnt it?

I'll research ROgers and Fido for more details about their services. I like using prepaid, thank you very much.

I heardz T-Mobile is coming to town. Is it there yet?

Are TekSavvy's customer friendly? lol...I'll research on that one too.

NOTE: Never, ever, order something overseas by UPS or FedEx! You'll get hit with a HUGE fee

lol. FEDex are nice here in Philippines. They're our number 1 carrier provider. Uhmm....that's Air21, I guess and not FEDex.

I'll write down all replies here and I will see what I can do to be a good immigrant.

Thank you for all your replies and I read them all and none were skipped

Can I download Japanese episodes of Pokemon?
Sure, just don't upload.
Can I download DS games and others?
Sure, just don't upload.
Can I download private Japanese musics (Anime OSTs if I cant buy from Play asia)?
Sure, just don't upload
Can I buy flashcarts? (customs will not confiscate it? I heard one person's flashcart was confiscated in the US)
QUESTIONABLE. Customs and borders may be getting stricter soon.
Can I survive the Norther Hemisphere coldness?
QUESTIONABLE. Just don't go too far up North.
Can I find a girlfriend in Canada?
Yes. There are many women of many ethnicities here.
What is the best GSM/3G provider for my Tri-band 3G Nokia phone?
Where in the country will you be?
Toronto - Telus
Almost everywhere else - Rogers
What is the best Internet plan I can get in Canada? I have an unlimited plan of 1Mbps
LOL. We have unlimited DSL plans at like, 5Mbps for less than $30/month. Cable plans are faster, more expensive, and will give you bandwidth caps.
Are the Malls in Canada has everything like PC parts and game consoles? I hate ordering online
Most computer part stores and old video game stores I know of aren't in malls, but at least have physical stores.
Can I write more if I can think of anything?[/quote]

BEST ANSWERS RIGHT HERE.

When I say "Sure, just don't upload", I mean that all P2P that has uploading copyrighted data is ILLEGAL. Bittorrent? Unless you're using something like BitThief (which is a complete dick move by the way), you're going to end up uploading SOME data, which is ILLEGAL.

Anything that involves you giving copyrighted data to someone else is illegal.

You obtaining it yourself on the other hand, will not get you arrested.

OH, CANADA.

You silly bitch, Toronto is the heart and soul of Canada. No where else in Canada matters. At all.
