JAPAN IN 2 DAYS HOLY SH*T!!!

I'm excited enough to curse in happiness. Finally, I get the chance to see on a 24hr basis just how bad my Japanese is  :)

Plan:
Tokyo -> Kanagawa -> Akami -> Kyoto -> Osaka -> Kobe -> Nara -> Taiwan

Or just check out my awesome Google doc!  -->  https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ArzaYe-vnZaudEdILTc2U1RzMDNUNlJZYzVUc0c0Z1E&hl=en&authkey=CJr58MYH

I'm so tired at the moment though  >_>

Stapleless staplers
More like a fancy paper indenter from what I can tell, but hell, if it can save on staples (and the annoying problems associated with them), why the hell not?

The FIRST? successful instant miso soup
Well, for some reason I assumed this already existed, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that all of the decent miso soup I knew of used at least used a container of quality stuff. If instant works, I might be drinking miso soup more in the near future!

1/365, suppose? I find it interesting and fun that, of the few people I follow on LJ, one of them has the same birthday as me.

Another has the same birthday as my brother, which is today. So happy birthday to you October 28th-ers!!!
