You know that expression. Well, abroad, something as simple as posting a letter can sometimes be more complicated than it seems!
Today, I had to send papers to John. So I start looking for envelopes. Nothing to Wellcome supermarket in the neighborhood, so I'm going to 7 / 11, a small supermarket. There was a kind of envelopes, and they were very weird! They looked like this:
and back were covered with small letters and small numbers. The 5 top boxes could accommodate a postcode, but where to write address? Moreover, the flap does not seem to have sticky tape.
So I spent my path crossed the street and walked to Family Mart, a direct competitor of 7 / 11. There I found the same style envelopes.
I decided to go to the post, though they should have normal envelopes there! Before that, I had to return home to get the address. Finally, it helped me a lot since I discovered that between home and office, there is a paper mill. I spot radius "envelopes" and then I fall back on the bizarre! Fortunately, there was also envelopes "Hello Kitty", and even normal envelopes "By air, you know, the ones that have a blue border and red and smelling distant trips. Phew!
I pay my bundle of envelopes "By plane," I go to the post. Wow, there are people! Since I do not see the ticket machine at once, I decide to settle down comfortably in the courtyard of the station to write the address, all in good time. I write the address, I put the paper in the envelope .... there is no sticky tape! Here I am good to go to buy stationery tape! I re-enters the post to return to the streets and there ! Oh! a girl with a glue stick. She puts in a box. The position provides the glue is super! And it tends immediately to a lady's jacket, there is no need to take a ticket! I realized after that it was for postal services need to wait. I get my stamps, stick them (they are léchables, they, at least) and file drag my envelope in the green box as I was told.
An hour after I first left home, that's it, mission accomplished!
