18/02: Ode to the 100-yen store
One of our favorite places to take new students is the 百均 (hyakkin, or 100 yen store). As you might guess from the name, this store is basically the equivalent of a dollar store in the States.

You may be able to tell just from the EPSON, but if not, these boxes are labelled 詰め替えインク (tsumekae inku, or ink refills)! That's right, for 100 yen (currently, about 80 cents) you can buy an ink refill pack that holds enough for about 4 refills!
Other things for sale:
