Kathryn Sanday comments

My husband's 13 years older than me and my other one is 13 years younger, so according to a previous comment, that is the present and he is a lucky guy "bunking" with me. I will remember that next time he complains about my superficial shopping habits ;)

I live in the counrtyside and over 7 empty houses are in the closest village. One enterprising villager rents them out to foreign workers (Thai ladies) who work at the car parts factory on the industrial estate. Everyone is a winner. They get cheap accommodation, they shop in the local stores and the houses are used and kept nice.

They usually have beautiful scenes on the ceramic tiles, or in the older sentos, they are hand painted.

Another 2 Japanese falsely convicted then...if Nomura Satoru fired the fatal gunshot, why were 2 of his lieutenants arrested instead?

World Music Jam tickets and shaved Ice champagne topping, yes please as it is my birthday tomorrow. Freak show, Tokyo is a freak show:)

As many people have already illuminated some of your inaccuracies, I will instead focus on your initial opening; washing your hands with hair conditioner...I will call you on that. People wash their hands either over the toilet or at the wash hand basin, outside the shower cubicle. Neither will have hair conditioner as Japanese people wash their hair in the shower before a soak in the tub. Under the said wash basin, is a cabinet where most people keep grout cleaner which smells uncomfortably strongly of bleach and recommends you open a window when using it as it is toxic. Also laundry detergent, fabric softener if the machine is also located here and not on the veranda, spare bars of soap which most families use at the wash basin. So how come you were using hair conditioner at the wash basin or in the toilet? Finally, conditioner and shampoo are not Japanese words so are not written in Kanji but Katakana...so what if you can't read it- shampoo is a shorter word than conditioner so easily distinguished.
