The Post Office.
It`s so nice living in a small town!
Today, I finally went there with my 10 boxes of stuff to send home. They let me park in the loading dock, helped me to carry my boxes, I got to wait in the secret "back" area while they weighed them, and we were chatting about how hard it is to fit three years worth of memories into 10 boxes. They laughed at me because every box seemed to contain photo albums. My poor friends back home.
Then, they gave me a 10% discount for the big quantity, which saved me about 80 bucks.
We chatted some more. I remember how often these guys had helped me with my strange requests over the years - they really have been great to me!
At the end, they shook my hand, wished me well in my journeys, and told me that they`d miss me.
I was touched, just like when the announcement about Yoshi and my marriage went in the town paper and the delivery guy chased me down on his scooter to aske me if my address had changed.
Can this possibly be a government office????
In a small town, I don`t think so.
I`m gonna miss my inaka!
