When I was living in Japan, amazon.co.jp was part of my internet-life-line-system. In the small town I was in, the English book selection was limited to say the least. But I was always amazed at how wonderful the selection of items on amazon was. My favourite part was that not only did they have books, but they had everything from computer games, electronics, jewelry, kitchen appliances, flowers, food, alcohol...the list goes on and on. I even used it to send things to my friends in Japan after I returned home. Much to my annoyance, the Canadian amazon was still limited to mostly books, music and software. I could order from the American site, but that meant extra shipping and the dreading customs charges (I once ordered a sale item, so I ended up paying more in taxes than I did for the item).
Low and behold, I decided on a whim (at 2am) to check the amazon.ca site. And what do my greedy little eyes behold, but a home and garden section!! While it's still not as extensive as it's American or Japanese counterparts, it's a start! Off to explore I go!
