Post Office

I went to the Post Office to mail a letter today. I was blown away by what I learned today about Japanese Post Offices. I tried to mail a letter today. I needed an envelope. Well, I was told by the Japanese Post Office worker that "we dont sell envelopes here." WHAT?! How in the world does a post office NOT sell envelopes. Dont they go hand in hand. That is like a (insert funny analogy here). I cant believe it. Can you? If you have any fun analagys to the fact that a Post Office doesnt offer envelopes...post them here.

For the record, I had to go 10 minutes away to a grocery store to get envelopes. A GROCERY STORE with envelopes?! AHH Japan, sometimes I just cant figure you out!
