We begged and even offered to pay the 'with meat' price and they said that they could not do it! So, just because you have the card, I don't think that all your trouble are over in Japan. </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/rub-a-dub-reggae-bar-kyoto#post-198 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:59:38 +0000 bern 198@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>thank u, I did check the website but couldn't find an email - wood for trees, maybe </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/rub-a-dub-reggae-bar-kyoto#post-197 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:01:23 +0000 peko 197@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>From their website: <a href="mailto:info@rubadub.org">info@rubadub.org</a> </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/rub-a-dub-reggae-bar-kyoto#post-196 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:58:37 +0000 bern 196@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>Looking for a contact - pref. email - for Rub A Dub bar<br /> n</p> <p>Thank you </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/gluten-free#post-195 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:40:09 +0000 bern 195@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>A local restaurant owner has promised to write something for us.

What should we say to ask if a dish uses gluten in its ingredients? Maybe I should print out something in Japanese to take with us? Is there much awareness of this diet in Japan? </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/9-nights-in-kyoto-for-small-family-accommodation-recommendations#post-173 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:22:02 +0000 bern 173@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>Peko, have found a company leasing very basic apartments (for students?) - very very cheap.
