I find it's good to blow the food out of your teeth, but I'm not sure it's as good as flossing. Not that I know much about flossing. I'm lazy and only do it if there is food stuck in my teeth.

You are a wanker.
reverendjames··on Japan's clothes-drying bathrooms
I had a small studio apartment in Japan. My gas powered regular clothes dryer sat above my washing machine thus taking up no space. This article is stupid. And most of this pontificating about the article is a waste of time.

Your situation in USA has nothing to do with Japan. Thus guy is correct. Most Japanese with a salaried job can't take a long holiday overseas.
