The Post Office

In the States, the only things you can do at a Post Office are:

  1. Stand in line
  2. Mail/ship letters and packages
  3. Buy stamps
  4. Buy USPS logo chachka
  5. Get your passport


In Japan, you can do those things, plus:



  1. Buy mailable treats (Kit Kat are given for good luck here and they come in a million different varieties - spring is here, so Sakura flavored are now out!)
  2. Same as above, but with a smile!
  3. Pay your bills
  4. Pay your insurance
  5. Pay your traffic tickets...

  1. See...if our post offices sold awesome flavors of kit kats, I'd be much more apt to actually standing in line.

    That looks like a crazy complicated ticket!

    1. If they had the Kits Kats, maybe they would not need to keep raising postage... Just sayin'...

      I suppose it would be a crazy complicated ticket - except that the only thing I could read was the Yen, the date (due) and I remembered that I could pay at a bank (BOOOOOORRRRRRRING) or the Post Office (Adventure!!!)!
