Manholes and other Stuff (June 27)

So, today was spent heading out to the convenience store near school. Along the way, I ended up taking quite a few pictures of the various manholes I saw along the way. Then, after school, I had a bit of time to kill before my host mom could pick me up, so I stopped by the local book store and browsed for a bit. Here are the pics:











This is the Japanese Harry Potter. They're also really expensive. The first 3 are 1900 yen each (about $19) and the last two are 3800 yen ($38). The last two are actually divided up into two halfs, each in separate hardcover books. That would probably make reading them a lot easier as the book is only half as heavy, just way more expensive...

This is the sign that's on most of the subways. There are two seats that are labled as "Priority Seats" and are only supposed to be used by those pictured. The first four are pretty easy to figure out: old people, pregnant people, people with babies, injured people... and... heartbroken people?? They get priority seating?? Kind of weird to throw them in the mix... Oh well, they only show up on a few of the subways... Most just have the first four.
