In the city where I live, there are many paper factories. And Hayashi Paper Company has been making interesting toilet paper. They started to make such things to make toilets fun place to be in. Toilet have usually been considered to be dark and dirty places. Frankly speaking, I don’t think people pay much attention to how comfortable they are. Now I think we must pay more respect to toilet paper and these small spaces that are so important to our lives. Let me show you three different types of toilet paper for this time.
This is their latest one. Mr.Koji Suzuki, the author of “ring” or “edge” wrote a short story for this toilet paper.
Next is my favorite The Tokaido Highway paper.
We can study Japanese history or culture here. As a student, I had to cram for tests but now I can learn it at will with this.
The third one, in this paper, a well-known economic analyst Mr. Morinaga gives 10 useful tips to survive economic hardship. Let me try a rough translation.
1) Prioritise saving and then try make both ends meet with what is left.
2) Live in the suburbs. Rents and prices are lower there. Living there will bring you benefits such as easy access to sightseeing spots. No need to be competitive.
3) Buy cheaper manual cars. They are economical both in efficiency and maintenance.
4) Check your home phone and mobile contracts. You may save more by changing some of them.
5) Don’t decide what to cook before going to the supermarket. Have a look and pick the day’s most inexpensive ingredients and think about what you can cook.
6) Don’t use carts at the supermarket. You may buy more than you need.
7) Choose the right level of school for each child. If the person isn’t good enough for the school it’s a waste of money and if someone happens to pass the school entrance but is not really good enough for it, the person will be unhappy after getting in it.
Use internet banks. You can get slightly higher interest rate, charges are lower than conventional ones. Also you can get cash back by doing shopping on the website.
9) Sell the things you don’t use on internet auctions.
10) If anyone gives you anything, even though you don’t need it, accept it with all smile and be very thankful. You may get more in the future.
What do you think ? Do they help you ?
I bought a magic carpet. This is it. The Japanese summer is pretty hot. Every summer I can’t sleep very well because of the heat . If I turn the air-conditioner on when I sleep , I always feel terribly tired. When I come to think about sleep, it takes up rather big portion of time every day. I can’t take it lightly. I decided to buy this to enhance my sleeping quality. And it seems very good. This carpet can be used as a bed sheet. You can’t do the laundry but all you have to do is wipe and dry it. The carpet is made of rush. The material is organic and safe to touch. It smells really good and its texture makes me relaxed and happy. In my house hold we only have this one and all of the family tried it in turn and they unanimously agreed to buy one each. I have almost made up mind to buy one for each of us instead of buying a new TV set. Instead of watching TV I would rather lie on this and read books.
