One more thing, this is why I am going to move to USA from Japan because I
can buy LEGO in cheapest price and fast way, then I can have a big place to
test my RCX Controlled LEGO Train Projects, some of them need over 5m x 5m,
I have no way to debug it in Japan.

Does anyone introduce me a job in USA, I am a experienced software engineer.

Thanks a lot!
