A tribute for Japanese postal service

Gotta love the postal service here in Japan.
One of the perks of living in Japan is that their postal service is absolutely amicable.
I got my contact lenses arriving in the mail. Since I wasn't home, the postman left a note in the box advising me for arranging another delivery. I called the number, arranged it and within 24 hours, the box arrived in my house between 9 to noon. Awesome.
Today, I came back from a joint birthday party celebration at nearly midnight. Having not been home in the past 15 hours, I checked the post and there was another note from Mr. Postman. The note said that there was a package from a Ms. ADM for me! My darling sissie said that she sent a package a week back and that it wasn't going to arrive in 2 weeks, so naturally it was such a great surprise when it arrived in exactly 7 days!!!
You see, I could arrange another delivery... however, since I was having a birthday high, I just couldn't-shouldn't-and-wouldn't wait. I must see what my sissie sent me at ONCE!
So, I went upstairs, got my bike lights and pedaled over to Yoyogi Post Office. I headed straight to the pick-up window, and rang the after-hours service (the district main post offices are open 24 hours, FYI) buzzer. 10 seconds later, a postman with a rather sleepy look turned up at the window. He checked my claim tag, got my package, checked my ID, and handed the package. All done in 2 minutes.
Gosh, I just love the Japanese postal service. They make it so easy and accessible. Absolutely amazing. I love them.
But I love my sister 10,000 times more... I mean, who wouldn't? Check out what she got me!!!
