I'll pitch in with the three dollars in my wallet.  We should have just enough to buy plane tickets for everyone!

Unfortunately, I never made it to Super Potato.  I didn't get to spend nearly as much time as I wanted in Akiba... I only made it to one of the Book-Offs as that was maybe the only spot that was still open by the time I got there.  I know it's been said before, but there's too much to see and do in Japan!

That makes me sad . Hopefully your trip was still really enjoyable!

Oh man, it sure was.  There's a good reason why I've been teaching myself Japanese and thinking about changing to a career field that might allow me to travel to Japan

Actually...would it be "chan", "kun", or either/or?

I still have a hard time remembering, but wiki page says:

Kun[edit]
Kun (君【くん】?) is used by persons of senior status in addressing or referring to those of junior status, or by anyone when addressing or referring to male children or male teenagers, or among male friends. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for a long period of time. Although kun is generally used for boys, that is not a hard rule. For example, kun can be used to name a close personal friend or family member of any gender. Also, in business settings, young female employees may also be addressed as kun by older males of senior status. It can also be used by male teachers addressing their female students.
In the Diet of Japan (Legislature), chairmen use kun when addressing diet members and ministers. An exception was when Takako Doi was the chairwoman of the lower house: she used the san title.

Chan[edit]
Chan (ちゃん?) is a diminutive suffix; it expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. In general, chan is used for babies, young children, grandparents and teenagers. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, close friends, any youthful woman, or between friends. Using chan with a superior's name is considered to be condescending and rude.
Although, traditionally, honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women adopt the childish affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan (childish because it suggests that one has not learned to distinguish between names used for self and names used by others). For example, a young woman named Kanako might call herself Kanako-chan rather than using a first person pronoun. Also, the very common female name suffix -ko (〜子) may be dropped, as in Kana-chan.
