BIC Camera Revisited

Kyoto, Japan view map

Went back to BIC Camera in Kyoto, but this time it wasn't for any camera gear unfortunately. The purpose of the visit was to buy a wireless router, because the phone/internet is finally getting connected after two months of waiting! Unfortunately because we came here with no credit rating in Japan, they took their own sweet time in connecting us. Probably wanted to see we weren't going to run away first, before they trusted us enough to connect us. They don't bother checking in to our credit rating in Australia because of the language difference. So we really feel like we are starting from scratch all over again. If you come to Japan with a company bringing you here you won't have all of these problems, you'll be treated as a honoured guest. Anyway didn't want to come here tied to any company, so we paid the price, but the way things have worked out now, I'm glad we took the hard road... I definitely can see The Hand of God at work...
