Japan has come a long way since I first arrived ten years ago. Things like imported food, the iPhone, American wine, Costco, even large shirt sizes are now easily available to make my life better.
Unfortunately there is one thing that still hasn’t made it to Japan – deodorant. Every time I go to the US I stock up on the Sure deodorant – sometimes up to 20 sticks. I can live with the weird looks at the register to keep my underarms dry during these brutal Japanese summers.
The bad news is that it looks like my stockpile is running low. The good news is that it seems like summer is pretty much over, so maybe it won’t be a problem to go light on the deodorant until we head out to the USA in December.
Fingers (and arms) are crossed.
