Sunny and warm, quite nice actually.
Now then, if there are any males reading this update tonight, you might just want to stop now. I'm going to talk about a very personal female topic. Okay? You have been warned.
Today, I went shopping for..... NO, REALLY GUYS, I MEAN IT..... feminine hygiene products. Before I came over here I asked some one who had lived here what was available. She told me that the products here weren't very good and I should arrange with someone to send me some supplies every month. Well, I tried that at first, but it got to be embarrassing when big packets arrived every month.
I finally got up the nerve to check out the Japanese products. It's difficult when you can't actually understand the packaging labels, but they have pictures and gradually I learned some katakana, so I knew what I was buying. In reality I found the Japanese products to be far superior than the ones I could get in North America. Not only that, but it was much easier to buy them here than rely on my friend to send them to me!
Anyway, when I went into the drug store today I got my stuff and took it up to the checkout counter. The woman rang it through and then very nicely put it in a paper bag, sealed it with tape and then put it in a plastic bag with all of my other stuff. It's very discreet. It's a bit different than what they do in Canada, putting them in a see-through plastic bag, on the top so everyone can see them!
Life in Japan. Another view of it.
Night night!
