MAIL from JP: Post to EU resuming! (AT, CH, SE, NO, DK, PO)

Today I got official word that AT, CH, SE, NO, DK, PO has resumed mail, packages and postcards! Ireland, Belarus, Romania and Ukraine are still on hold.
I'll send out the April cards to these countries today! May & June will go out early next week from Tokyo's Central Post Office. Thanks for waiting.
NEXT: Let's get Australia sorted and then the USPS packages! Despite the good news and re-openings, please be safe., Japan is seeing an uptick which could lead to a second wave.

JUNE 2020 - Postcards on the way!

Story time: I went to Ryogoku today to send the postcards. I did — sort of. (1) I sent the cards to everyone living in Japan at Ryogoku Station (2) From the Sumida Yokozuna Post Office near the Sumo Arena, I could send the cards to Germany, UK, Canada, Finland, Switzerland, S’pore and all other places taking international mail except — the USA. They said they would not accept it but the internet update says they still take postcards and letters so — (3) I went to the main Tokyo Statio...

Patreon & YouTube Memberships Q&A LIVE

It is very important to talk about what the benefits of YouTube memberships are to Patreons, why we need (or don't need) both, how it works and what extra you'll receive. I want to thank so many people for reaching out and asking questions. I like the live format to do this. If you are available to ask a question, please do. This effects every Patron in a good way and from suggestions and feedback, I'll be able to evolve this so it gets even better.
Thank you!! John

1974 to 2020 7-Eleven Japan

It’s interesting to see from today’s stream the change in the shop over the years. Seems like there was some renovation or new building that was built behind it. The Japanese learned the process of running POS from the US then took those techniques and improved on it, to the Japanese way 😂 7-Eleven wasn’t the first konbini in Japan. Do you know what was the first - in 1969?

SUMO! June 2020's Postcard Club Selection

With Japan Post releasing a new set of stamps for Sumo, I thought I'd make this the choice for this month. I will not just add a sumo stamp but also send this FROM RYOGOKU! It's a 10 min bicycle ride for me to get there :)
The postcard is in the Cockpit window, taped for security reasons. We don't want to pilots crashing into the Sumo ring! THANK YOU for the support and there will go out on June 6th.
Sincerely, John
