ドンキホーテのセール事情!日本で買い物する時のコツ The sale paradox

<< English entry below >>

日本に住んで20年以上。
いまだに「アリガトウ」、「オイシイ」、「やれやれだぜ」しか喋れない僕ですが、段々とこの国のパラドクスを見分けるのが上手になってきます(偶然発見しただけだけど)。

横浜駅西口にあるドンキへはアメリカから輸入されたシリアルの在庫チェックをするためにたびたび寄るのですが、野球帽コレクターでもある自分は洋服のフロアも見なくてはいけません。

そんな今日目に入ったのが「セール」の矛盾・・・いや、ドンキついにパラドクスを生み出してしまったのか・・・?!

僕の混乱を記録に収めたのがこちら

お気づきでしょうか?

2,990円のセール棚にあった野球帽が実は3,150円、だがここで終わらない、絶賛タイムセール中の今はなんと3,289円でかなりお買い得になっています。

教訓:タイムセールは値段が逆方向に変動するものもあるので注意!
日本に来た旅行客の方々、この国独自のセール概念についてくれぐれもお忘れなく。

 

English —————————————–

Living in this country for over 20 years, you notice certain paradoxes when you go shopping (or like in this case, just by chance).

Let me give you an example here.
We were in everyone’s favorite Don Quixote (aka Donki) in Yokohama station, checking out if they have imported American cereal.
I also make it a habit to take a look through the cap section in case they have ones with discontinued logos.

As any normal person would, I love to see what’s there in the SALE isle or the row,
But wait, there was a sneaky trap hidden here; something paradoxical.

Do they know what SALE means? At least, the concept of TIME SALES?

Entertaining, but I rest my case.

On Monday, May 6th, I went to an event held at Korakuen Hall on the last day of Golden Week.

I’ve been a big fan of Great Muta since he was young and active, so you can’t miss the All Japan games.
On the day of the event, the venue was almost full, and the fans were entertained with a momentum that overturned the momentum that had been declining for a while.

I’m glad I went!

The tag match was also gorgeous, and I was able to meet the Jackson Road Crew in person after the match.

Wrestlers who see a performance for the first time always have an impression or image after three or four matches, but Lord Crew showed a wrestling performance that left a particularly strong impression on this day.

Japan Pro Wrestling, which is full of wrestlers and developments that we are looking forward to in the future, are gaining momentum and coming to captivate our audience.

The next event I will attend will be DRAGONGATE!
I am looking forward to meeting Mr./Ms. everyone.
