In which someone has to get used to doing things from the other end

[matataku_hoshi]

In my two years of time in Japan, I felt like I became pretty familiar with the Japanese postal service.  (Especially towards the end.  At first they just laughed when I came in with box after box, and then I think they got a little worried...)  However, I know very little about sending things to Japan from America.

If I want to send letters to certain pure, proper, and beautiful people in Japan from America, what's the best way to go about doing so?  I would think it would just be via the local post office, but how long should I expect for letters to take to arrive if I send them that way?  Are there any other options I should be looking into?  Preferably one that won't break my limited bank account?

I would just get the international mail stamps from the post office, it'll be the easiest and save you a few cents per letter. Other than that I've never had any problems just dropping letters in the usual outgoing mail box.
