    Something just clicked. Once I (a gaijin) went to my local post office and asked for what I can only call a " special international transaction." I was told it could not be done. I insisted it could as I had asked for and received it several times before. He then turned to his colleague who backed him up. I persisted. The employee gave me a baleful look as he pulled out his binder of procedures. Having seen that same binder before I told the postal employee where he could find the instructions. The tension increased but I left the PO victorious. Now I see the poor many was under pressure to sell nengajo and who knows what else and not assist lowly gaijin.

    In Florida a German man, his mother and dog were found mummified by their former gardner looking for work in a plush home after 2 years undisturbed. Seems the air conditioning dried and preserved the bodies and there was enough money in the bank to keep the utility bills paid.

    There were homeless people under blue tarps back in 1990 when we had elevator girls to push the buttons for us in department stores.
