Have you ever been to Japan in the summer? The daylight hours are like 5am>>5pm which really sucks

What? That statement is a waste of Bandwidth. How are you not going to get proper deoderent in Japan?

I'll miss the familiarity, I mean this IS where I grew up.

Nathan 05-29-2008 05:04 AM

Because you don't.

If you've been to Japan you realize what passes for deodorant in Japan is more of a perfume.

Which did nothing to help a Westerner like me during a Japanese summer.

Antiperspirant simply doesn't exist or is a rare find.

Edit: I did thoroughly enjoy being called a waste of bandwidth though. Thank you for your wise insight.

For me... Maggi Instant Noodles and the good old meat pie. That's what I miss. Everything else I can either buy or cook myself. Oh, and I miss the meter maids :P

In summer??? What part of Japan were you in? It`s already light out after 5pm now. In summer, it`s light till 8pm around here.

o, so i will make the compromise offer, here it is light until 7-ish, in the summer than is. still it would be nice to have an extra hour in the evening, instead of in the wee early hours.

Well I'm gonna be there a year, starting fall, so...

A proper christmas. Christmas won't be real for me in Japan, without my family and mama's cooking. ,)

Riding my motorcycle.
Watching the big games (Ice hockey, soccer...) with my friends.
Playing xbox with my friends.
Cheap meat.

When I go to Japan it'll probaly be my mom, friends, and pets. I'll probaly try and bring my cat with me, but my dog lives with my dad and I doubt he'll let me take her to Japan with me.
