cheers dude i know there are a few sites that employ aussies for japan seasons just tryign to figure out the best ones.

where is everyone buying their gear these days? I'm in Syd but looking at online stores mainly..
ship from the states? any problems with customs? (from memory if it's under $1000 of equipment it won't be intercepted).. any local brands that i should consider supporting instead?
