BlueWitch: I believe that would be "National Azabu Supermarket." It is across the street from Arisugawa Park.

Again, with people complaining about what DIDN'T happen where THEY live. Well, I live in Tokushima where there was a lot of rain! In neighboring Kochi, there was over 1000 mm of rain, more than they get in 3 months! So stop being so self-centered and think about places other than where you are. Geez!

@keika1628 Well, I don't know where you live, but here in Tokushima, they have plenty of free-range chickens. One of the famous products of Tokushima is 阿波尾鶏 or Awa Odori. And there are other parts of Japan, too, like Fukuoka, who also raise similar chickens. So don't go generalizing there, OK?

@Papigiulio: Go down south to Wakayama. Lots of beautiful beaches there...much better than Suma.

@Carcharodon: Nope HFCS was invented by the Japanese. See: usc.edu/org/InsightBusiness/archives/spring2005/corn.htm
.....High fructose corn syrup, made from cornstarch, was invented in the 1960s by Japanese scientists and has since unlocked a way for food manufacturers to sweeten their products for a fraction of what they would pay for traditional sweeteners such as sucrose.....

One of my friends labeled these girls as 「整形B48」. I thought it was hilarious!

@tamanegi: The article didn't say there was "no looting or profiteering." It said there was "little if any" Please read things correctly before you going around misquoting them.

I have no intention of leaving this country...in fact, I'll do whatever possible to stay here as long as I can....this country is more home to me than my country of birth. Thank you, Japan for giving me a home.

@Papiguilio: The quake has indeed been re-evaluated to be 9.0. But there have been larger quakes, a 9.5 in Chile in 1960, which to date the most powerful earthquake ever recorded on Earth.

OK, Zenny11. Now I understand what you are talking about.
Posted in: What do you think about all the various products that go on the market every year at this time to combat the effects of hay fever? What do you recommend?

@Zenny11: I think those Vicks Inhalers are illegal here in Japan. I wish they weren't as they can be quite useful. Claritin works for me here and I can get it from the local doc here in Tokushima with no problem. Just wish it were OTC as it (and other drugs like Allegra) are in the USA.

@ExportExpert: Quakes like the September one in NZ are known as "foreshocks."
@hemplord: Go to a home center and get some specially made putty that will hold down your big speakers in a quake. As for the aquarium, that's a different matter.
