I was in a stationaries shop few days back.
A boy was paying for his items in front of me.
He asked: How much will this exercise book cost?
(A 60 pages blank exercise book for primary student to “practise” writing)
Cashier: 60 sen
I was agast.
60 sen for some blank pages?
I remember when I was 8 year old, I paid something like 20 sen for such book.
Has so many years really just gone by?
Or the value of money had really sunk deeper than a submarine?
