Hidemi's Rambling No.80 Jan 3, 2010

The first three days of the year are a major holiday in Japan. People go shopping for a so-called Happy Bag. It's an assortment bag of merchandise, which is worth several times as much as it's price and only available this time of year. The catch is you don't know what's inside. Some of the bags show its contents but basically, it's a surprise. To save money, I get a few Happy Bags of accessories every year. Thanks to them, I have got many accessories worth much more than I actually paid. The bags usually contain quite a lot of earrings besides rings or necklaces, but I don't have my ears pierced. I have numerous earrings I can't even wear...
