You only get free paper advertisements on the streets (right?)

    He-he, I like napkins more than usual paper ads. Unfortunately, it is rarely in states to get napkins as part of some promotion, but candy, small snack or pen is a normal. You may also get samples of perfume and other girlish staff in large malls.

    It is quite interesting why there ire only paper ads in S-pore? Do You have any idea?

    Best way to make sure people will at least read the advertisement without tossing it immidiatley is with free stuff like the japanese does. I stocked up on tissue like for a lifetime and everytime I used them I read who was giving them away. I even went to eat a restaurant thanks to one of those free tissues lol

Boiled coke and ginger lemon for cough

This post has nothing to do with Japan, except that I have the tendency to fall sick during long Japanese holidays like year end and golden week. So with weak Japanese medicine not working, and even with kiwis and lemon honey drink all failing, I resorted to my friend's advice: coke and ginger . It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste...
