SMEAGOL IS FREEEEEEE!

Yesterday I put 200 CDs and DVDs in the wrong places so no one could ever guess where to look for them. I even went so far as to tuck a couple under the sections themselves. They won't be accounted for until they close the place down and physically move and/or dismantle those big black bunks. Then I took the money from my cash and threw it ( Read more... )

Honestly? I'd say Hungry Gaijin just sounds better because let's face it - the Japanese <3 the Engrish. :D Besides, with the former it sounds like you're living in a cardboard shack out by the river.

Good luck out there, w00bit. You'll do fine. I'll probably be joining you out there come autumn. Even if AEON doesn't take me, I'm sure there are other companies who would love to throw a fresh graduate such as myself out to the wolves. :D Barring all that, I demand you give me your address so I can ship myself in a giant crate with holes - who doesn't have a nuclear control console in their 1 room apartment? ;)

Oh, and good lord, don't bother buying Kleenex. Trust me when I say you'll have more tissues at the end of a fortnight to pad your apartment walls with. No other country I know of uses as standard advertising tissues as an incentive to buy their products. HERE FREE TISSUE YOU BUY IT!!!! :OOOO

Done and done. *tosses boxes of Kleenex from her suitcase* ^__^

Now that I'm looking at my stuff, Mom is really getting into some hardcore take-these-with-you-just-in-case items. The cleaning supplies make sense, but I have a feeling it's best to leave the taco shells behind. I can already picture waiting 6 months until I miss tacos, then when I open the box I discovered they fell apart in the process of packing and unpacking, and then I'll freak out on everyone for not having tacos in Japan. Or something just as sitcom-like.

XD Weeelll, you can buy cleaning supplies at the local convenience store or Donkey, but I guess if you want Canadian brand goods, you should take a few bottles of things. Can you actually bring liquids with your checked luggage, though? o.o I can't remember if that liquid ban/restriction is just for flights to Britain and the States, or if it was an across the board policy.

Oh, and taco shells might be a good thing to bring along, assuming you tuck them in between piles of clothes. Import foods are rather expensive in Japan. I once saw a jar of Nutella that ran for about $6. =.=

Just as a side note, some things you definitely *will* want to take are clothes, especially if you've got size/style considerations, and deodrant (especially if you like the stick kind and/or sweat a lot). The only things I found here were spray deodrants, and they... didn't work so well. =.= It's like Japanese armpits supposedly don't release as much sweat, so they're two thirds weaker than the stuff back home. Whut. The. Fuck.

I just pictured myself living in a van down by the river. Might not be a bad idea, depending on how small my apartment is. ^_______^

I'll definitely e-mail you the school's address, because I have a feeling I won't have a mailing address all to me onesy. That makes sense, I guess, because they have teachers moving in and out of these apartments all the time, so changing the names on the mailboxes must be a big hassle for landlords. Stupid foreigners not claiming their mail. We curse them precious!

On a more serious note, yes, please come visit me. PLEASE. T________T

Eh heh. XD I hope the school doesn't mind the life sized box I come in. Tell that to ignore the growling and snapping - and to keep their fingers out if they know what's good for 'em. >:D That aside, shoving a plate full of ramen and milk in there with a broom handle should be fine.

And yursh. :3 I'll do just about anything to come to Japan, so a visit is definitely in the cards. It'll be great seeing you again. I mish j00~. T_T
