There are one or two convenience stores (コンビニ=
konbini) on every street corner here in Japan, and you can get anything from
bento lunches to booze to booby mags. Every day, I hit one on my way to school to get my breakfast and my daily drink (with a little toy attached, of course).
Sometimes they have these little lotteries where, for 5 bucks, you can buy a ticket and scratch the card and win a prize. They are
Disney-themed, or
Hello Kitty-themed or whatever and now it's got a
Gundam-theme. After 5 tries, I won two mugs and two plastic file-folder cases (really handy for hauling around notes from class to class.) Tonight I just happened to win a
Gundam-
MP3 player. It's really cute, but being a bit of a techno-tard (and because it's all in Japanese), I can't figure out how you get the
3 tiny
Members of
Parliament inside to do my bidding!
Last weekend, I won a
Winnie the Pooh toaster (for 500
yen!) that I gave to DJ
Mokugohan for a house-warming present, and earlier I'd won a
Hello Kitty hair dryer and 2 cd-players (
Mickey and
Gundam.) I'm running out of space to keep all this crap, I need to have a garage sale!
