集金

Finally a fee collector of NHK (the Japanese public television) came to my apartment (yes, a real person visits from door to door to collect money here). I wonder how they found out that I'd been watching without paying. Now that I paid the fee (2,340 yen = ca. 23 dollars per month), it is legitimate for me to watch NHK!

はじめてＮＨＫの集金の人が来ました（今までタダで見てました・・・すみません）。今年の１０月からは、ＮＨＫの訪問集金の制度そのものが無くなり、振込か口座振替だけになるそうで、去って行くおじさんの後姿がこころなしか寂しそうでした。
