forgive me if i'm being naive, but is Cadbury's chocolate made in NZ?? Being that the Cadbury egg is such an american fixture around easter, I always thought, growing up, that Cadbury's was for sure an american chocolate company. I recently bought some caramello at an import grocery store here, and the address on the label said Cadbury Inc., NZ. This has turned my world on it's end... say it ain't so!! kankei nai, but... Dars is my fav among j-choco. Milk chocolatey.... mmmmmm.

Which famous people do you look like?
MistaSparkle replied to rachael's topic in General off-topic discussions
I've gotten Charlie Sheen, Richard Gere, and Tom Cruise. Those mentioned don't even share the slightest resemblance. I think it's just that all us foreign-folk look alike. -
Japan getting better at pizza?
MistaSparkle replied to frankfurter's topic in General off-topic discussions
Thats the beauty of a good NY pizza shop. They sell by the slice and there are enough people always buying that the slices are always fresh. -

miteyak - sounds like a whole lot of dubious information if you ask me. They haven't found the WMD arsenal they claimed was there before the war... O11 - -

Typical American hypocrisy. The american people/govt don't see how building the walls of the castle higher only make them fall harder. -
Speaking of "the big one" in Tokyo... I always hear that "most buildings these days are built to withstand major earthquakes." How much of an overestimation do you think that is?

I've bought and sold a ton of dirty schoolgirl pantie... Japanese goods, on eBay succesfully. ...but actually, I've gotten some really good deals buying turntables etc., and sold a bunch of stuff when I moved to Japan through eBay.

I have pretty bad time perception, so I'm a disaster when it comes to being places on time... Most of my friends and family are aware of this, and cut me loads of slack, but it pisses people off anyway. Shoganai... (damn! I said it)

Went to my 1st japanese wedding on sunday. All I can say is.... WTF. I knew things were going to be interesting when the groom came out sporting a turban, riding a "horse" (two of his buddies wearing skin tight suits, one with a horsehead mask). There were a few strange games, one which entailed the bride and groom picking cell phone numbers of guests out of a hat, and calling the number. The person with the ringing phone had to do an "ippatsu gyagu." (Gag performance) in front of everyone. There was one guy who stripped down to his tighty-whiteys, (which had a big red dot painted on th
