Do Japanese Wiis work in the United States?
I'm planning on importing a Japanese Wii to the United States soon. However, one of my friends has told me I will need other items in order to make the Wii work in the US due to voltage differences. What exactly do I need to make it work? I'm planning on importing games actually =( I just meant hardware specifications. Sorry I confused you, Wii Addict.

You will need an adaptor of some kind and a different plug. In Japan they use 230 Volts / 60Hz whereas in the USA they use 110V / 60 Hz. So you will need to order an adaptor to convert the voltages to make it safe to use in your home.

The reason why Japanese Wii dono't work in the U.S. is because of a region lock. A region lock is when you try to play a Wii game thats from a different country in a Wii thats from a different country. That's like trying to play an American Wii with Austrailian games. A way to take off region lock to to "mod" your Wii. Here's info about how to "mod" your Wii. http://www.wii-modchips.com

If you import the games it will work, but many companies are cracking down on game importing. You will have to buy an adapter to make it work with american plugins.

as long as you apply for the job while still living in the u.s. , and its not a government related job. You will need to make sure you have time to cross the border before getting to work. its a way longer commute.
2 :
Yes you can. I have known many people that do that. Some were U.S. citizens and some were Mexican citizens. I have known people that were living in the U.S. and working in Mexico. In both cases, you have to allow a lot of time to cross the border, especially if you drive. Sometimes it is better to leave your car in the parking lot at the U.S. side and walk over, then drive from there. My hometown is 5 miles from the border. Now I am retired living in the Armed Forces Retirement home in Washington, DC.
3 :
Yes. You'll save a lot of money too. Gas is cheaper and food is cheaper. Since he has family there, you won't be like a tourist in the sniper's scope. And when you get sick of the Mexicans and their backwards thinking, you can just go home for a couple days for a sanity check. Definitely give it a try.

It would be an awfully long commute...You could be an American citizen and live in British Columbia and work.
2 :
Sure, lots of people do it (and vice versa, living in BC and working in the US). You have to have the proper work authorization unless you're an American citizen, and preferably a Nexus card to speed up the border crossing.
3 :
Yes, an associate of mine works in Richmond, BC and lives in Bellingham, Washington. He has a Nexus Pass to help facilitate getting through the border faster and avoiding the line ups in the summer months. He is an American Citizen and has a Right to Work Permit for working in Canada. I believe the necessary paperwork can be obtained from any border crossing office.
4 :
Yes it would be possible. I know several of people who live in the Lower Mainland/ Fraser Valley area who live in Canada, and then work in the states. It is very possible. They give you those Nexus cards, and then you're just able to go through like that, instead of having to wait through those long line ups, but you have to pass some rigorous stuff first.
