japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago, n of 1 obviously

get it tested anyway

customs inside asia, is it easier between neighbouring countries

how long is transit within asia running

singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only
