Tell him to bring aspirin, deodorant and anti-dandruff shampoo, if he needs any of them. If not, don't worry.
Aspirin (insert any decent pain killer here) is unobtainium, but he can bring some with him. The give him any grief, there is an allowance to bring in certain medicines, simply because you are not Japanese. Don't bother with cold medecine, as A: they might get real upset and B: the local stuff aint half bad.
Deodorant and the shampoo, local stuff doesn't cut it.
Toothpaste is gritty, toothbrushes are ok, but a little wimpy. That's about it I think.
Plus anything else he can't live without.
The things they don't tell you in the guide books, huh? :D
Tim tams? Can buy them at (drumroll please)...
Toys R us.
Crazy stuff. :confused: :eek: :D

BTW, how did a thread called RIP the Lemon Crisp end up as a search for accomodation in Japan?
Someone has to drag the standard down, there's been so many good ones lately I'm having trouble handing out greenies. :DQuote:

You know how these things happen, one thing leads to another and you end up staring down a shotgun at the altar...
Oops, wrong analogy. Sorry. :D

Actually, out of most of the guys I know here that are hitched, I'm about the only one that wasn't coaxed into making an honest woman out of her. Been married for nearly 2 years now, no baby.
Yet...
That tune will change in April. ;)
Oh yeah, on the subject of coffee.
Nothing better than when it's brass monkey weather and yer stuck outside than a can of hot coffee. The coffee isn't bad and it's still a novelty for me, especially in the winter. :D
Canned coffee!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:Quote:

Stupid question 101.
How does it get hot.......if you've got to heat it on a stove then you might as well make your own brew. :confused:
and wait for the explosion!!!!
How do they keep pies hot?
Same thing.
The vending machines can do hot or cold, depending on the time of year. Most of the convenience stores also have fridges that do the same trick.
One place I work at, you slip in a tray, plug it into the fridge, slide some 'blinds' around the hot bit and the same fridge does hot and cold drinks at the same time.
Any more questions about the, ahem, interesting stuff around here?
And yes they do have the christmas muzak playing away here too. Haven't quite worked out why just yet though...
I once stumbled on this site devoted to Japanese vending machines.
They have some truely bizarre machines over there. :eek:
If I was to explain further I'd have to take it to the orange room. :o :eek:
