Not sure when it happened but the price of sending a postcard overseas went up from 70 yen to 100 yen.
In the past, the postal service made "fun" stamps to cover the difference for postcards going overseas
This year, they did not do this (I think), so in order to send out my holiday cards, I needed 37 yen in stamps to make up the difference.
I went to the post office and told the person working there my situation, and she suggested that they print out those boring label looking "stamps" for the 37 yen.
I told her that my friends and family love to see the different stamps that Japan has, so I wanted to put "real stamps" on my cards.
Well, she said she could sell me 20 yen, 10 yen and 7 yen stamps, but she only had 31, 7 yen stamps...
So I told her can't you sell me 5 yen and 2 yen stamps to make 7 yen stamps?!
"oh"...she said.
sigh...it seems unless you suggest it, they won't think of it or suggest something to you...
anyway, finally got the mojo to work on my cards and sent them out on Thursday.

LOL, the postal clerk seems like the "new" teller at Manoa CPB today. Had a little over a $1,000 in cash deposits for one of my companies. She kept counting manually several times and getting mixed up. I was just about to ask her why not use the bill counter. But on the other hand, I've had tellers put just 3 $100 bills in the counter when it seems so obvious. Unless the bill counter can detect counterfeit?
Pretty sure I'm going to other branches from now on.

Even though I'm not a card sender, I've read that it is a major faux pas to not send New Year's cards to someone especially if they send to you.
Please accept my apologies, and I do love the stamps and the cards! Last year's was especially cute!
