What I miss about Japan

As per tradition, I'll be doing a round up after each big trip.

Previous roundup could be found here.

Ok I din mention the manga/anime haven in Akihabara for the previous trip as the other group doesn't seem that much interested in these and I wasn't as crazily into figurines as now. Also, there's the ka-ching factor.

And since I've written about my tourist's view, I shall do a comparison post for this.

So... WHAT DO I MISS ABOUT JAPAN!?

Onigiris
Definitely! The small, triangular object that boasts little calories but at the same time able to fill your tummy! What's more, they're TASTY! I'm saying those mass produced and sold at convenience stores thou.

SG needs these in their 24 hours shops!!


Bargain buys along Akihabara/Rental display storefronts watever-they-are-called
Absolutely regrets not lugging more nendoroid sets back! Just a lot of legwork needed not to commit suicide at the next store that sells the same toy 100 yen cheaper.

Oh, I miss the stores that sells unboxed gashapons/trading figures so that I do not need to buy the whole set just for that one toy!


Vie De France!
Misses their soft and yummy bread!!


Climate
Not saying I miss the freezing cold or the bitter wind, but when perspiration starts forming the moment we exit the terminal doors of Changi, yes I miss the jacket requirement for outdoors and cosing up under the comforters in Japan.


The leg warmers in trains/buses
Obviously only needed in cold countries but they're really life saviors with a drowsy effect that makes one sleepy within a couple of stations.


The serenity in the trains
I do not need noise cancelling earphones with music to block off the chatter and banter!


Yodabashis, Hands, and the other all-in-one stores
Easy, convenient, all-in-one shopping!


Not an exhaustive list but these are the stuff I'm missing at the moment..
