Packages

Akinori got a package from L. L. Bean yesterday. He got a pair of new shoes! Yay!
Got another package from Barnes & Noble today. Akinori orderd a book, “When Life Nearly Died – The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time.” I guess he is very much interested in this kind of stuff and even planning to do a research on this for his PhD. As for me, I got 2 city guide books about London and Tokyo. These guidebooks have a very cute looking and I’ll post reviews about them soon, hopefully.
Though Amazon sells almost all books lots cheaper than Barnes & Noble, I more than sometimes prefer buying books from Barnes & Noble. Why? Because A., they have their retail stores nationwide and I like being there to browse books. B., So I got a so-called “Readers’ Advantage” card from Barnes & Noble to get some prices off and it can be used online, too. and C., So I guess the marketing strategies that Barnes & Noble uses just captured this innocent (?) Japanese girl here!
