How many stamps does it take to send a letter to Japan? -

I want to send a plain one page letter to my buddy in the marines stanioned in japan. is one stamp ok? am i ok to send it in a regular mail box?

The way you describe, your buddy may be out of the Marines before he gets the letter. You should go to the nearest Post Office. You don t have to stand in line, there is generally a quot;kioskquot; where you can put your letter on the scale, type in Japan, and the machine will tell you how much postage the letter requires. You certainly MUST use Air Mail! Surface mail is not nicknamed quot;Snail Mailquot; for no reason!

Just cover the envelope front and back with stamps. It ll get there and your buddy will get a kick out of it.

I quess I ll have to ask the post man and get back to ya
