Some of you knowﾂthat all I need a fridge for is beer, cheese and chocolate. At least, that was until I married Mami and we moved into together. It wasn’t long before her mum bought us a new fridge for our wedding present, and Mami filled it up with everything I should eat.
As well as the lovely orangey colour, this fridge is extra special becuase its door opens in each direction.ﾂTake a look for yourself:

The worst thing about Japanese fridges is the ridiculously small freezer compartment, even in modern ones. In the photo above, the onlyﾂpart for frozen food is the cabinet in theﾂbottom-rightﾂcorner.ﾂ
Are 2-way fridge doors the norm in other countries, or are they a Japanese luxury?

Hi nick, which plug are you using for the voting buttons?
It’s Lester Chan’s WP-Polls.
Oh, and not I have never seen a fridge like that, pretty cool
I think a lot of the new fridges are being designed this way as it is easy for manufacturers to do and gives them a bigger market! Its all about the business business!
Oh, I thought they made them that way to appease left-handed people!
