I’m going to Japan in a few weeks. I’m gonna pack my return suitcase with Japanese denim and whiskey like a Soviet diplomat.

FYR, heard local reports of Russians buying (for example) six bottles of Johnny Walker black, here in Anchorage, during the “summit.” So, you don’t even need to reach back to the USSR for this comparison.

Detained for having Japenese products on you. Wait would they actually do that?

The Hobonichi Techo people would probably pay you a small fortune if you could bring them back 2026 planners. Stationery people are not doing well.

Lowkey all of this is making me want to order a 2025 planner just to see what the big deal is.

As a newly-minted Hobonichi Techo person, I realize that there are bigger, more important things going on right now, but yeah, I am *so* disappointed about this one.

I'm wondering now if there's a commodity you could ship home in a 25kg suitcase that would pay for your flight there and back. I could become a Pokemon mule 😅

I know for a fact I could pay for a flight to the USA from Europe just by bringing back a bunch of Pelican cases ...they could search inside them and never find a thing because the cases are the thing 😅
