I nearly spat tea all over computer screen today when I saw this photo Karyu posted in his blog.
It's snus! It's definitely the last thing I expected to see in a blog of a Japanese guy xDDD For those who don't know: snus is a moist powder tobacco popular in Scandinavia, it's packed in small portions that you put under a lip and suck on it. And this one is called "Göteborgs Rapé", (nevermind the second word xD) I lived in Göteborg for several years and that picture is quite familiar xDDDD Apparently Karyu is trying to stop smoking using snus. I say he is just exchanging one addiction for another xD It has a sweet taste and it's also much stronger than cigarettes, I got a little dizzy when I tried it.
I don't know if Karyu's entry about snus is better or the one of Hizumi when he posted a photo of Finnish newspaper that had an article about D'espairsray, but he thought it was Swedish xDDD
I'm reminded of Sweden on the most weird occasions xDDDD
