The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

Anytime I go to Maruzen, I am impressed by the girls working there. They are exactly how girls working at an imported book and stationery store should be: quiet, modest, and clean. Almost endangered species especially in Fukuoka where everything can easily get overdone. They are not wearing heavy makeup, probably just lip cream or something. But they look brilliant with their clean and healthy skin. Their hair is unprocessed (no colouring, no wave, no extension) and simply tied at the nape. I can’t imagine them shouting at someone. The furthest thing from the STAP cell girl (I don’t know whether the cell is a real thing, though).

Getting back to the point, I always wonder where they had hidden before the store found them, and how the store found them from a pile of CVs.
