Totally, even the old, in every home JIKININ cold medicine is so fully doped with codeine and pumped with caffeine it gives you a mild euphoric buzz followed by a wicked good sleep... Not that I know... Just remember to read the ingredients kiddies. Oh, on the JIKININ pack it does say to not drink ...

Codeine is readily available in OTC cough meds here, it is not as regulated as they make you think. They most likely thought that you had a cold or something. Yup and those smartass don't even put the usual logo now mandatory in europe for drowsiness inducing drugs. http://www.medecine-et-sante.com...

Oh man this thread is one example of why FG is my WaiWai. The guy asking about the abortion a few weeks ago was better but still this is pretty good.

FGL expressed my thoughts perfectly. In fact, I think the new venue is going to guarantee that gaijin cards are less up-to-date than under the old system. When I move, I have to visit the local ward office anyway for a slew of reasons, so a quick trip over the gaijin card window is easy and painles...

that statement alone is wholly indicative of your complete obliviousness to the situation. i'd also question if you've even spent much time here. what may "MAKE SENSE" to you or may even be logical or the case elsewhere is not necessarily what would happen here - in fact, quite the opposite most li...

Wait, that wuz a gurl ?

Seriously, do you think that Japan is going to allow people to bring in banned narcotics just because they have a "prescription" from some overseas "doctor"? :lol: No potential at all for that to be abused! :roll: I AM NOT SAYING THEY WILL LET YOU GO IN WITH THE FRACKING DRUG. I SAID SEVERAL, TIMES...

methinks someone's sarcasm meter is in need of a tune-up.. ] There's sarcasm, and there is this kind of posts who can't seems to refrain from shitting on the topic. The ETC thread was another example. It's like technical threads where someone ask tips about how to tweak something in windows and som...

I suggest you get a prescription for some medical marijuana in the US and then try to bring it into Japan. 1st I don't think america is the best example to speak about medical MJ. 2nd I'm not american. 3 You'd get your stuff confiscated at the custom check. 4 Technically that would fall under refus...

A small number of westerners appear to operate in Japan on the basis that if something is illegal in Japan but legal in their own country, then the police will say "Oh, all right, then, that's perfectly understandable" and let them off. That's all about having a medical prescription or not I think....

The news wires outside Japan have disseminated this story quite widely - clearly attracted by the "pineapple" angle - but Japanese newswires haven't really taken it up yet. Presumably they are waiting for his agent to make an official statement or for him to update his blog. I really don't know whi...

27000 yens for 1 tatami ? that's what is called cheap now ?

That's because remarkably few of us are RF engineers who can read technical specifications in Japanese, or want to sign the contracts with NEXCO and then purchase documentation. You appear to be right that the specifications are not proprietary, as I noted above. Wow, what kind of guarantee do you ...

So the device registration is for assigning the right vehicle type & toll amount. The card registration is for billing. This is why cards can be used interchangeably in different ETC devices. (Greji, perhaps your card was issued before they figured this method out, so they have the vehicle type enc...

I'm glad to hear you didn't spend much money on the switch. I think the thing you're missing is that the card's not there for fun - it's the part that provides all the data that gets transmitted by the transponder. If you pop your ETC card out of your device, and you insert your friend's card, he w...

Seconded. And I heard that if the balls don't touch then it's not gay.

Here's a question for you then... Why the hell didn't you buy a Fit instead of the Note? Probably going to buy my wife a Fit for a runabout later this year or sometime next year. Because back then the Fit was due to a facelift in less than 12 month, the old Fit was too spartan inside compare to the...

The Note is a 1500cc that does very well. It cruises very nicely at 120kmp and has quite enough torque also. (4400rpm) Sounds like you need to get your car looked at... Did you ever drive one ? at 4400 RPM the engine scream more than a schoolgirl on her first dark alley trip. The gearbox in normal ...

All I was trying to say is that that Coligny's special project to get a custom power switch installed was probably pointless and a waste of money. When you eject your card from the device, I believe it is as good as dead, just as if you cut the power. Every device has a card eject button built in, ...

the license plate covers are illegal and you will get a ticket for it when you get stopped. The ETC kill switch is illegal too but they won't ever check for it(they never found the kill switch I installed to shut off my rear license plate light). Yep license plate covers are certainly illegals. Tha...

It depends on many factors: where you live (major metro area), where you go every day(is there a parallel route that you can ignore the speed limit), do you really need the IC, etc....
