mattress toppers are a must. Would it be easier to buy them there? I can't imagine it would be easy to take one with you.
Nah..., don't bring that with you, first of all the sizes of the mattress are a little different than in the US so they won't fit right...., just take a run to the Aeon mall here in Narita or take a train ride to Ikea in Chiba....., more choices than you would know what to do with.
Also I had a question about headset. Just wondering what the best one to grab would be?
Nothing expensive..., a turboprop I would say that it is worth it to drop a grand on a pair of Bose but here you won't be using them more than at critical phase.
Haven said that, the BCF's tent to be a little noisy so I would recommend noise canceling on the cheap..., Telex 850's for example.
