A note on parcel post here for friends and family:
It costs about twice as much to ship a package in Japan as it does in the US. In the US it costs about $50 to ship 10lbs by air mail, so here it's about $100. For the same weight, Sea-mail is $40. So that's why I won't be sending you gifts all the time. ; ) If anyone comes to visit me, they'd better bring an extra suitcase because it's cheaper to send presents back that way!
