>>You can't get to Wal Mart, too many people.  But trying to
>>go south makes it possible for you to get the bottle of
>>coconut-scented hair conditioner.  Warning -- don't pour the
>>hair conditioner into the phone.  You will find that taking
>>a shower without hair conditioner has some advantages.

n (to Takamine's General Store)

>>>The goggles are not necessary for anything involving the store.
>>In fact, everything about the store is the same with or without the
>>goggles because the store was built by a very odd man, Mr Takamine.
>>However, if you happen to approach the store while wearing the
>>goggles, you will get a hint refering to the poem in "Alice in
>>Wonderland" about the walrus and the carpenter.  This poem
>>could provide hints about some of the puzzles at the store.
>>There also is a reference to the Beatle's song that contains the
>>phrase "I am the Walrus", but this is just for fun.

--- FIRST LEVEL -----

>>The store, which looks like a pagoda, has five levels themed along
>>the elements of stone, water, fire, air, and nothingness.  There are
>>also four representations of Japanese Warrior Kings who protect
>>us from demons.  Some of the symbols inside the store relate to
>>feng shui and foo dogs, primarily Chinese traditions but also
>>used (with some modifications) in Japanese culture.
>>The cobblestone floor has loose pebbles.
