What sucks about living between two countries:

Five minutes before my taiko drum lesson, I discover that the sports bra I bought at Kaufmann's back in Syracuse and had shipped to me with a host of other items that just arrived last Wednesday still has attached to it the plastic security thing that can only be removed by a Special Plastic Security Thing Remover. Angry!

Unless, of course, someone knows how to remove one of these things with Ordinary Japanese Household Items.

This just after I get an instant message from my brother telling me that a package, which should have been mailed to my apartment in Japan, has turned up on Meadowbrook.

This list of Things that Suck about Living Between Two Countries is by no means complete, but I'm late for taiko, so it'll have to do for now.

1. I'd love to take taiko drum lessons. You'll have to post pics of that, if you can.

2. Try this: http://www.totse.com/en/bad_ideas/scams_and_rip_offs/beginnersguide170670.html (I wasn't sure which security "thing" was on your clothing, and I KNOW you won't use this url to really shoplift). Or maybe you just need MacGyver.
