nzlegend 1 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 PEANUT BUTTER!!!!! wow you just cant good peanut butter here! the closest thing is that overpriced sweet American garbage "skippy" but other than that there is nothing to be found. Japanese PB is well quite frankly Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 i actually like that whipped peanut cream. it's definitely not the same foodstuff as peterpan peanut butter, but good in its own way. Link to post Share on other sites

amandanism 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 heres some more stuff: [keep in mind im in singapore, so some of this stuff you can probably get in jp] -> watching live sporting events like the rugby at cheap prices (saw the british lions vs australian reserves for 20 dollars in gosford a couple years back.) -> concerts that dont take place in a stadium -> music festivals -> haribo gummy bears -> 4 seasons -> independent stores, specifically record stores, but pretty much goes for everything (singapore = corporate wh*res) -> shopping without people looking over you all the time, suspecting that you are trying to shoplift. -> road trips -> moms cooking -> ferry trips Link to post Share on other sites
RayInJapan 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Two things I miss from the states: Kentucky Fried Chicken Honey BBQ Wings, and Gyros. Some of the stuff you guys are mentioning, I might have access too. If we end up rendevouing on the slopes some day, let me know and I might be able to hook you up (cept for the MJ).

enderzero 0 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 - Friends and Family - Knowing that no matter what if there is a band I want to see, they are gonna play in my city and it will be affordable. - American micro brews - Movies - Turkey Sandwiches - Mexican resaurants - Lots of other foods/restaurants - English bookstores - Being able to order something on the internet and get it in 2 days. There's more. But I am having a great time and know I will look back on my experiences with joy and envy. Link to post Share on other sites
