Yuka accepted one girl from Singapore staying at her house for a week, and when they went for a small trip to Kamakura, Yuka asked me to go along just in case there's a problem on the way (actually, there's nothing to worry about since Stella (the Singaporean girl) can speak a comprehensible Japanese, and Yuka's English isn't bad at all).
Anyway, we found this omikuji machine in Kamakura. Omikuji is one of Japanese fortune teller, you shake a box full of sticks with number and make one of the stick go out from a hole in the box. The monk will give you the fortune teller paper based on the number on the stick that you draw. However, with this machine there is no monk, you just put your money and the machine will give you the fortune teller paper directly. Well, a combination of technology and mystic (religion?). Very Japanese indeed... :-)
