Because of the situation with Yukiko, I also caught my first cold in two years. It is probably because of a mix of stress and sleeping at other people’s houses every night, because I can’t sleep at home but I caught a cold.
Yesterday I went to Ganbanyoku and felt so much better afterwards. I told you before that I usually don't sweat much at Ganbanyoku (my friend said it's because I don't eat meat or smoke and I rarely drink alcohol or eat food that isn't organically grown, so I don't have many toxins to expel and that's why I don't sweat at Ganbanyoku...?)
I'm not sure about that, but yesterday was crazy and my skin feels better than anything. I have never looked this shiny fresh while having a gross cold. My headache is gone and so is my runny nose. I recommend Ganbanyoku to any sick person who is healthy looking enough not to sniffle in the silence of the room.

Julie, the situation with the crazy roommate sounds super stressful. Glad you are treating yourself well, and that she'll be moving out soon. Good luck!
Hi Julie!
I just read your blog from start to finish and I just wanted to drop a line. I love your blog and the overall positive tone.
You're awesome.
Thanks so much, Jared. You are always so supportive.
Carin! You are so sweet!! I am so happy that you found my blog and like it. I try to keep things positive because I like living here and there are enough negative blog about Japan around.
I'm really very happy about all the onsen springing up around Tokyo, but there's one thing I just recently discovered about Ganban-yoku that has caused me to steer clear.
Apparently they use rocks loaded with radium.
The exposure over 30 minutes probably isn't all that much (probably less than a dental x-ray). Still.
The place you go to may not use radium, but it might be good to check (if you worry about that sort of thing). I'm sure not everyplace does.
