When I go to the U.S., I like to bring back little everyday things—some dental floss, a tube of toothpaste, a lip balm or two... Nothing fancy, and I could buy similar ones from Japanese brands here. Still, I like having those small American bits around me in Japan. It's a gentle way to keep a bit of that U.S. feeling even while I’m back home.
My little American everyday essentials
Several packs of dental floss, a tube of toothpaste, and a couple of
smooth lip balms – tiny reminders of U.S. life back home in Japan.
The two tiny round dental floss packs are something Collie got from the dentist—they're so adorable, and really tug at my heartstrings❤︎ I also picked up a small tube of toothpaste😊♪
I'll keep sharing my Michigan travel stories from Japan. I'd love it if you cheer me on! Rose
◇ Quick Update ◇
I realized I hadn't checked ☆A message to Rose☆ on my blog. I've just discovered your sweet message from November last year—I'm so sorry!!!
In this article, I wrote: "There were curious sounds of cats meowing—probably someone had smuggled a cat on board." You asked me: "Delta Airlines allows small pets to travel in the cabin. Do you think that cat was smuggled by its owner?"
I wrote that so casually...😅 Turns out, even on my Haneda-Detroit international flight, small pets are allowed in the cabin. They need advance booking with a fee, and there's limited space. Thank you so much for taking the time to write! In retrospect, that cat was probably legit after all, not smuggled...🐱mew. I'm really hoping this reaches you.
