Oniko's Travel Diary: The Three Mountains (August 5-31, 1998) |

Saturday August 22nd, 1998
So yesterday I mailed home the walking stick that I carried up Fuji. Today I had planned to get up and mail a box of presents home before getting on the trains to go somewhere remote but, dunce that I am, I failed to note that yesterday was Friday... so the post office is closed today and tomorrow. So I either had to stay for two more days so I could mail off the box, or take it with me.
UPDATE 2001: while small local post offices are closed on Saturdays, the larger post offices that sort and route the mail are always open on Sturday. I could have gotten rid of that box, had I only known! |
