You’re right, absolutely illegal. And it’s not like there aren’t ways to legally import your meds - it’s a matter of filling out a medicine import form and sending it to the nearest consulate before you leave to get permission. Of course there are meds that are plain illegal in Japan like certain decongestants. :(

I’m not even American I even I know the Star Spangled Banner was not written about a revolutionary war battle, but one in the War of 1812. Specifically Baltimore, the first win after the devastating blow of losing Washington and having us burn down the White House and the rest of the public buildings. You needed

Well you certainly did it nicer than I would have. I gave it some massive side eye. But then again American spelling is a pet peeve of mine. :)

Because south of the border, you all speak American not English and get confused when confronted with actual English spelling? ;) -joking but kind of not...

How many of them end in Typhoid or other fecal/oral transmission diseases? Maybe you should do a BCO on street food as a public service...

You really have to look out for those mud puddles when they grow up into lakes, they just don’t know their strength.

My heart goes out to those poor kids. My city has a couple of specially trained therapy dogs that work specifically with child victims of crimes/traumatised witnesses of crimes. The trained child advocates at the centre the dogs work at can use the support animals in so many helpful ways, from having the dogs escort

Chemistry - exactly! It’s how I can be allergic to anything that combines oil, vinegar and eggs (ie Mayo and most creamy dressings) but any two is fine and I have no issues with eggs. I try to acknowledge with my server that I understand it’s a weird allergy and that I appreciate them going out of their way to check

I just bought a regular pair and a wicking pair though I found I had to go up a size in the wicking pair to cover the junk in my trunk. Tip for Canadians: go today if you want to try them, since the Bay has them on sale this weekend!

Yes, I tell my students to try and have three ways to access money and not to have your cards in the same wallet in case it is lost or stolen. The other thing about cards besides chip & pin technology being necessary is the pin has restrictions in many places. To be safe, make sure your pin is only 4 digits long and

Yes, I’m a Canuk and an absurd amount of important events to my life are associated with curling. My parents met at a curling bonspiel. When I was born my dad’s curling team has a run of kids born to them so every week they were celebrating with cigars after the game for a month or so. When I was in university I was

My friend miscarried in the first trimester and put it in the freezer with the thought that the doctor's might need to test it to determine what happened. It didn't turn out to be necessary as she got pregnant again without difficulty. She also had a "well what the heck do I do with it now?" reaction and was still

Ooh, I didn't realise that there was a company translating them! I have a couple of Japanese ones paired with the original English book it was based on on my shelves. Pity you can't search by original author....

Fanfiction is the gift that keeps on giving, tends to be written for the female gaze and has come up with scenarios that would never translate to film due to camera angles but are absolutely delicious to imagine. Vote early, vote often!

I think it may be one of those "things in moderation" situations that can easily be abused. Super useful at work and the day that I figured out that I could hit reply all on my reply to someone and it wouldn't reply to me, just the other person made my advising life so much easier.

It's still a very valid study since college students or campuses do not have a monopoly on rape culture. They are part of our wider culture that deals with these issues. I'll also mention that the findings of Lisak & Miller's study has been replicated too with similar populations. McWhorter et al (2009) studied male

Yes, my 1 month old godchild was estimated right before delivery to be 6.5-7 pounds by BFF's OBGYN. Imagine our surprise when she weighed in at 9 lbs 2oz when she came out!

Apparently he's never been a delivery room either, where active labour can involve pushing out baby, or poop and hopefully not both at the same time.

I studied abroad in Taiwan in high school which was when the clips of the big introduction of Andrew Llyod Webber music (and music theatre in general) to China were still being played all over Asia. I saw a video on a big screen in the shopping area and immediately fell into a massive celebrity crush on Kris

I can't speak towards current phone capabilities but when I lived in Japan in 2005-2006 even my bargain basement cell phone had amazing software. The predictive text for Japanese cellphones was excellent even back then, so I can only imagine how awesome it is now.
