The only thing I never got used to was the drying thing. I've been back 10 months now and still when I open my huge Kenmore dryer and remove soft, fluffy, sweet-smelling towels and sheets and clothing I am grateful!

Might make more sense to leave the fridge outside in winter, could save some money that way . . .

If you use air-conditioner, your room air gets dry :) No problem! Well, if you can afford to use your air-conditioner, though.. I have a drying machine in my bath room, but don’t use it so often.

Good point, Japan -is- making me soft. I remember when I was in college the laundry machines were in a building in a different location from our apartment! I could handle it then, and it was snowy... I can handle it now! Good point K, I'll have to remember that. I don't have a drying machine (does anyone here?) so I'll have to hang my stuff out. Would hanging the clothes INSIDE the house get them to dry any faster? Zen! Good point, Japan -is- making me soft.
