We have a few flyers left over and upon the suggestion of my brother Kiyomi and I headed to Higashi Okazaki Station (\u6771\u5ca1\u5d0e\u99c5) to hand them out to people who were leaving the station.
\nWere they interested? No way. Heads\/eyes down and walked straight past. Some waved “no”, most didn’t even do that – that’s fine nobody is forcing them to take a flyer.
\nIn past years I guess you would’ve had more luck in handing stuff out at a train station – but I guess people have become sick and tired of being handed adverts as they were leaving they just stopped taking.
\nThough I did give out one flyer to a Japanese high school girl – who probably took it for the freak value of talking to a gaijin (\u5916\u4eba), or foreigner. She did say “Thank you” though. Her friend on hearing thank you exclaimed “\u3048\u3048\u3048 \u82f1\u8a9e?!” – “huh, English?!”
