Mina-san, if somebody was handing out free tissues on the street, would you take them? Or would run away as quickly as you possibly could?

I wonder how effective these actually are. Are you going to remember the name of the company when it is covered in snot?

I’ve always found those tissues very convenient… if only because like the women in the dialogue, I can never remember to put mine in my handbag…

I had never seen stores handing out tissues anywhere outside of Japan, but funnily enough the Paris Book Off store does give you tissues at the register when you pay for your books ! They don’t hand them out in the street, though…

I just want to throw out an extra thanks to Marky for doing more than just throwing the current lesson’s vocab list into the video - mixing it up by adding some words from a week or two previous is REALLY helpful. I never find the time to go back and re-do old vocab, so I’d love to see more weekly self-tests like this to keep things fresh.

Depends on who’s doing the handing out. Most of the time they don’t hand me anything since I’m a foreigner. Guess they figure I can’t read the advertisement.

Personally, I’ll take the tissues if they hand those out, but the papers I just walk past. Seems like my nose runs more in Japan than it did in the states.

If I recall, these free tissues are a good supplement to the toilet paper found in Japan!
