I’ve Been Framed

I have had for a while a poster I wanted to get framed.  I had one of the girls in the office contact a reputable framing guy.  He actually came out to the office, picked up the poster, will make a frame by hand, and return it to me on Friday.  The cost?  ¥130, which is $18.28.

In the US, you couldn’t go into a frame store and buy a decent poster frame for $20.  Here I get a hand made frame, and delivery service.  As I’ve said before, in a country with a billion and a half people, the heaviest thing I ever lift is money.

Last time I had something framed it cost about $160
