It seems like electronic cigarettes have been on the market all around the world for some time, however I didn’t know about them until recently. It turns out that lately I see them everywhere, even in newsstands and Japanese supermarkets. It’s healthy!!
Notice how well designed is the package to conveniently recharge it.
After living for four years at the same place in Shibuya, a couple of weeks ago I moved to a brand new place. One of the little treats that I have had to give up is the remote-controlled washlet that I had at my “exhouse”.
It might look like a futuristic luxury for foreign eyes but it’s not, in fact the TOTO (Japan’s most popular brand) model I had at home was old-fashioned and no longer available. My “exhouse”, where I lived for four years, was built at the end of the 80’s, right in the middle of the Japanese bubble, a time when Japanese people were dreaming about a future plenty of remote-controlled washlets and buildings several kilometers tall. At my new house, the toilet doesn’t have a remote control, I think I will be able to survive 😉
