What to get in Toyko or Singapore?

My wife is traveling to Toyko and Singapore for a few weeks. Is there anything useful to buy there, Pentax or otherwise, that isn't avaiable here in the US?

The only real advantage you have in Japan is that you can get to hold Pentax items before you buy them, since shops in the US are so rare. Yodobashi Camera is a store you can spend hours and hours in; it's far more than cameras. Biccamera is another fun store, although I like Yodobashi a bit better.

I'd say the biggest thing you can get in Japan but not elsewhere is Marumi filters. Well, you can get them here, but there's an infinitely variety available in Japan.

Loads of cool camera kit, i.e. all the stuff you don't yet have... and you even get someone else to carry it all for you.
