True it's almost impossible to get PAL console here. I get my 1st PAL console in uk when study and latest one (360slim 4gb kinect bundle) from one of forumer here. i guess the best way if u really want PAL console, u need to order online. or just wait until u get back to your country. while u are here, just buy the games compatible with PAL console, so u can bring it together later. the Japan console, u can sell it back here. Let's hope if there's anyone has it in stock now. Anyway, good luck to you!
