Beer from a Vending Machine
Just to confirm for those who don't believe; yes, you really can buy beer out of a vending machine Japan. Although it is not as common as I would like, they do exist. A regular sized can of Sapporo Draft is ￥200. You can also buy cigarettes for ￥300-￥400 a pack. These types of machines all close down at night, in order to stop underaged people from buying them after the sun has gone down...
High school boy: What's that you say sir, I need to be 20 years old to buy this 6-pack of beer?
Store clerk: That's right. You cannot drink alcohol in Japan until you are 20 years of age.
5 minutes later...
High school boy: Sugoi!!!!!!! A beer vending machine! YOSH!!!

Glad to see you are back on the map. Bet you are looking forward to coming home for a few days. Mom and Dad are going to be up there for a few days while you are back. Have a safe trip and hope to talk to you soon.
