22. Japanese TV simutaneously disgusts and delights me. There is some great stuff, and some really awful stuff, and not much in between.
23. I *still* don't understand why central heating is not standard in Japan. Can someone please explain this to me?!
24. My ideal Saturday afternoon is a brand new magazine and a warm, frothy latte in a sunny, quiet cafe.
25. I miss my family and friends in the US and I am truly thankful for all the technological conveniences that allow me to keep in touch with them!

we haven't had tv since we moved into our new house and sometimes i miss it, and yet, not at all. lol
Illahee: I totally know what you mean! I went without a TV for four years and was just fine, but now I can't imagine life without it...
Agree, agree, agree....I can't understand why central heating isn't standard either. Our house has it. And as for the monthly bills... it isn't anymore expensive to keep our house warm either. Because it only comes on when the house drops below the temp we set it for. But the whole house does stay that constant temp. And with good insulation, the heat isn't wasted it actually stays inside the house.
Hi Gina! Yes, it seems to me that central heating would be more energy efficient, especially if houses were sturdier here! Lots of Japanese people have told me that it is because there is so much humidity here and the insulation wouldn't hold up to it, but I don't buy that...I think all the humidity is exactly why houses need insulation! But of course I'm not an architect, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. :-)
