You are on a boat on the way from Japan - you never fly because of the trauma that plagues you from when you were in that plane accident as a child.

The seas are calm on a sunny day. You have been on the seas for 3 days and its another 3 days to go before you reach home. You are in the library looking at some health material when all of a sudden you hear a huge boom - a meteorite smashed through the desk and the hull is taking water fast.

Luckily the good lord is on your side as there seems to be a small island about 100 meters away. You calculate that you can only carry one item with you if you are going to be able to swim the 100 meters to the island after the boat completely sinks in 7 seconds.

You cant make it back to your cabin to get the stash of health material that you carry around with you on trips so you glance at the shelf in the library - you have 5 seconds left to choose one - which will it be?

And the related question is, do you carry some sort of health material with you when you are away on a trip?
When I was a wee lad I used to carry around pics of my fave Idol Nishida Hikaru when traveling to Japan ^^;

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    I remember taking some health materials when I went to Korea about 9 years ago because it was hard to acquire health materials in Korea.

    Nowadays, I only travel to Japan and I never take any health materials to there because of the total opposite reason for Korea...

    without being able to look inside I'd have to grab #5 or #8 and no I don't carry any Health material with me on vacations. I was also disappointed in my trip to Seattle that I couldn't find any Japanese Health Care Magazines in the International District. I would have bought one if I did just because.

    I'm torn between 2, 6, 10 and 11. I guess I grab them all and hope for a life vest.
