I have one which I hardly used, grabbed it from the shop for a few bucks some time ago. Does anyone want it? Shipping would be quite troublesome though (I'm in singapore).
Or as the above poster said, you could simply purchase one for cheap from dealextreme. I'd bought many items from them and never got ripped off, although shipping time is terribly slow.
Can't type long since I'm replying this from a smartphone.
Basically it's impossible for you to learn chinese, japanese or korean in just a summer and hope to achieve a proficient mastery of the language... Unless you're linguistically gifted or something.
If you want to come to asia, I'd suggest to try the english-speaking countries where language barrier won't matter that much. This means your choices are probably India, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I'm chinese indonesian working in Singapore for the past two years. I speak only English and it hasn't proven to be a career-breaker so far. The job market here is pretty slow but not as bad as the US. However, you really should get a few years of solid experience in your home country before even thinking of venturing overseas.
Drop me a mail at joewandy at gmail if you want more details. My fingers tire from excessive typing in the bus now.
