Spray paint or regular paint for cheap?

Anybody know if paint sold at 100 yen stores is suitable for using on cardboard? And does anybody know if they have light blue and light green colors? I don't want to spend too much..

    Hi there! I don't think that 100 yen shops would have paint and if they do, it's probably for kids and/or not really good quality. Try Ko-nan. It's a great hardware type store with everything you can imagine for your home, and their prices are GREAT! I love browsing around there. Their things are generally much cheaper than Jusco. I would be surprised if they don't have paint. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that Jusco has paint. I hope this helps, and good luck! :D Becky - www.trekkingwithhbecky.com Facebook - www.facebook.com/trekkingwithbecky Twitter - @trekkingbecky Instagram - @trekkingwithbecky

    I think Tokyo Hands also sell paint, it should cost between 500 ~ 800 yen.

    I just painted pumpkin seeds with y100 Daiso acrylic paint. It chipped off a bit and was icky; if you are handling that cardboard, the Y100 acrylic paint leaves residue on your hands every time you touch the painted surface. If you are not handling it and it's just for show, and then to throw, then Daiso Y100 might do the trick.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
