Reasons Why I Love 日本 #7

You can buy cheap umbrellas just about anywhere. Great option on a rainy day, especially when it starts raining rather unexpectedly part way through the day, and you're caught without an umbrella. Most conbinis have umbrellas available, as do shops in the ekis (train stations). The one down-shot is the fact that it is very easy to accumulate tons of umbrellas this way.
