When I went to the Yamato Museum with Rob and Jean-Luc
back in August, something typically Japanese happened to me.
You see, the museum has a permanent and a temporary exhibit, both with separate tickets (500 and 400 yen respectively). A combination ticket is available for 800 yen if you want to see both, saving you a whopping 100 yen (which was around €0,75~0,80 at the time).
Now, I was a little bit off, pressed the wrong button and got a ticket for the permanent exhibit instead of the combi, but wanted to see both exhibits. So to hell with the 100 yen savings; I got the 400 yen ticket as well, and off we went.
Upon arrival at the temporary exhibit, the girl at the door checked my ticket and let me in, but must have seen the stub from the other, because a minute or so later she came after me with a combi ticket and a 100 yen refund!
I kid you not.; she insisted that I gave her my two stubs so that she could replace them with the single ticket and the refund.
Brilliant.
Cheers, K.
