A student post: lions and tigers and bandages oh my!
The thing I’ve become very familiar with here in Japan is... bandages. That’s right. Since I’m such a clumsy person I get hurt a lot, and that’s why I need to have a lot of bandages with me all the time. I buy them from drug stores and usually pick up the cheapest one. There are still differences between every store.
In every drug store they have cheap bandages, and the packet contains 100 of them. I’ve already tried 4 (so that means I’ve used over 300 bandages) different kind of bandages. Usually the color matches with my skin and those I don’t like, because I have to change them all the time, because the glue is so weak. The best ones are from where I live. I can just run over there in emergency, wohoo!
I’ve also tried these really big ones. I like the back side color of them - it’s sea green! But those I don’t need anymore, but they were kind of expensive, so I won’t miss using them.
Maybe I’ll become a bandage expert while living here and I can show off my knowledge about them when I go back to Finland. Yay!
