 |
|
Hello everybody.
I have found myself living in a very noisy area. At night I have been wearing a set of earplugs, which work fine for me. The problem being is that I'm paying at least 500yen for 2 sets of earplugs! This will bankrupt me! I'm use to buying at least a pack of 20 for for that price in other countries. I was in Kyoto a few months back, and 1 pair only set me back 100 yen! I'm living in Yokohama now. I'm going to look around tomorrow. Anyone got any suggestion? I have even looked into making my own, but I don't want to go stuffing just anything into my ears! Thank you all in advance  |

| Unless someone can direct you towards something in your area, can't someone back home send you what you want? |

Thank you Glenski.
That looks like my next option. Still, I guess it will cost me just as much. P&P etc. I'm conducting a search of my area as we speak.
Thanks again. |

Not to point anything out but you can order from Amazon and pay at a convenience store. In addition, it takes less than an hour to open a bank account. |

| If it's all that loud, you might want to think about going over to a musical instrument shop and seeing if they have the reusable 'hearos' type earplugs. They're a lot more expensive. But work a lot better. |
