Big News Japanoholics!!

I suppose many of you are familiar with online shopping. Well, there’s this famous Japanese internet shopping website called Rakuten and you know what’s been added to the list just recently? It was so unexpected that I had to stare at the screen for a little while to make sure I wasn’t reading things wrongly. I did write here ages ago that a castle was on sale, but this time it’s more than an ancient-looking castle with modern technology, it’s a VILLAGE WITH A CASTLE! And what’s more, it’s a medieval village! And the price... dropped below one billion yen. Just have a look before I go any further (sorry, it’s Japanese):

If you calculate the consumption tax that alone is about 50 million yen, but if you do shopping on Rakuten you can earn Rakuten points and the points you can get by buying this village is worth nearly 10 million yen so you can do a lot of shopping with that! And there’re some free gifts of koban* coming along! Wow! Great deal!

*koban... currency used back then. Can’t use them today, though. Careful.

But what’s more surprising is that it says it doesn’t include shipping fee. Hmm, I wonder how much it’s going to be... wait, what do you mean “ship”?

Anyway, such a wonderful village is on sale and it’s the last one, so you’d better rush and hit the “Add to Shopping Cart” RIGHT NOW!! :P
