Reiko and I tie the knot this coming Thursday, though ... so we'll likely be running between Kakamigahara, Haba and Nagoya about 800 times between now and then. Hopefully we can all get together for coffee or something afterwards. Reiko has mentioned that she would like to meet "this Nick person" that I'm always talking about :P Will do.

I wonder if this airport incident has changed his mind somewhat. By the way, I can now confirm he's arrived in Japan and the rest of his trip was trouble-free. He'll be in our area from Wednesday to Friday. If there's still a chance to meet-up for a coffee, Jason, let me know! :) It’s funny you should say that because Mike had great things to say about the U.S after his trip to Arizona.

I wouldn't want to bring a box to a store unless it was foldable and said something other than "Tampax" on the side. Then again ... that gives me an idea for a real business ... :???: Reusing a box isn’t fashionable, though.

I think it's more suited to the "wizard" idea. Opinion seems to be divided on which looks best, so I’m going to go with the one on the right. I think it’s more suited to the “wizard” idea.

In fact, you should get someone to video <i>you</i> using a furoshiki to carry your groceries. That kind of video could go viral and before you know it, you'll be invited on to a Japanese TV show! :) That would be an interesting sight, watching everyone fold up their shopping in overgrown handkerchiefs.
