I wonder if any other countries do this?

I wasn't interested in things like drain covers but was more interested in those things that all soldiers are interested in, including Sapporo beer in bottles. I saw some of the beer in cans and didn't believe it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975421140446668477.post-37570689814622405302011-08-06T20:37:21.237+09:002011-08-06T20:37:21.237+09:00I deeply appreciate your vigorous practice about d...I deeply appreciate your vigorous practice about drain covers.Masahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973668385982189989noreply@blogger.com
