any body been to osaka recently? need ideas for gifts..

hello,

i am curious as to what gift to send to osaka, ? do they have hawaii kona coffee there?? i don't want to send mac chocolates.

please post ideas, just want some small gifts, like maybe post cards, kona-coffee pack (white one). you know the ones you see at ABC store, however i am unsure if it is already sold in japan if u know what i mean.. (in this day and age)

thanks

All sea water is the same since the ocean is connected! I mean there may be very small differences like in Okinawa the flushed raw **** into the water, which after scuba diving in it for a year I finally found out what was making me sick and giving me ear infections everytime I dove. Man I was mad!

Beef jerky. All Japanese people LOVE beef jerky. Or maybe pipikaula if you want it to be more Hawai'ian style

hmm.. interesting..

yes, in this day and age, i'd assume coffee be marketed to japan already..


so far im thinking
coffee (still, just go w/ it)
mac nuts (still the same as ever, but just go w/ it)
cookie

what are they gonna do w/ the saltwater?? drink it?? i really dunno how they can authenticate it or anything..

thanks
