Japanese love anime.
So, anime characters appear in stamps.

We, Japanese use many onomatopoeia.

"Sara-Sara" also means squeaky clean.

Hello Kitty in the Parade

Ginza Yanagi Matsuri ( Ginza Willow Festival ) was held on May 5.
In the photo above, you can see Hello Kitty in the parade.
She caught so much attention from girls.

Coin Internet Service

I took these photos at a shopping mall in Tokyo railway station.
You can access internet with those machines by paying 100 yen every 10 minutes.
Do you think that it is expensive?
Anyway, it seems convenient for busy businessman.
