Japan's Deep Sea Post Box

Divers replace the underwater post box off the coast of Susami in Wakayama (see Pink Tentacle). Waterproof letters can be bought at a nearby dive shop and get collected by local divers. It's the second time the box has been replaced and it's also not the only one; according to this link, Vanuatu even has an undersea post office.

Waterproof? Damn.

So much for this year's tax return. Uncle Sam's just going to have to wait 'til next year.
I have a blog. Last update: August 18, 2013.
