my first experience of internet shopping in Japan, and I was satisfied with price, quality, delivery service. http://www.rakuten.jp/
my friend said it is common in Germany to shop this way, as it saves your time and you can see more options :)

TINY APARTMENTS IN JAPAN
last weekends me and my Thai girlfriend conducted a small research on Beppu real estate situation. within 4 hours we' ve seen 3 apartments in various regions, interviewing the owners.
i'll post the pictures of the 1st apartment ONLY as you guys will be shocked seeing how people survive in others...
common things for majority of apartments in Japan:
1. EXPENSIVE. Average monthly cost for 2-room completely unfurnished apartment (still too small for our people) goes from 30 000-50 000 yen (about $350-550), plus security deposit (that you will never get back-about $900-1500USD), plus buying second-hand furniture from previous people (cheapest $800 for minimal things like stove, fridge, washing machine, several shelves), plus electricity, water, internet monthly bills...
2. TINY. we had a chance to see 2-room apartments, when the first thing you see entering the apartment is... kitchen! which is kinda weird as you feel the smell of the garlic in the whole apartment. picture of the kitchen attached...
this is actually the bedroom which looks more like a closet to me.
balcony (may i call it this way?) actually this apartment has a privilege to have some view on the neighbourhood, as other two are squeezed between other buildings, no sun light is getting inside.
something like a "laundry room", closet, garbage storage-in one place. 
other two apartments we've seen had no lights, no furniture at all, located in horrible smelling districts, almost same price... I heard from my friends that living in Tokyo and Osaka is even worse, as apartments are smaller and twice more expensive than in here... bednye yapontsy...
