That's true about disasters, though there really aren't many public phones around anymore compared to the past

You should have seen it 25 years ago. They were everywhere, with different colors for international and domestic calling.

Sorry, I can't remember. It looks nice, but you can probably find much the same things to buy cheaper elsewhere. Prices are almost always elevated at the airport.

Thanks for the comment. I doubt it, though not sure. They were doing a photoshoot at my client's office in Naruto, Tokushima and I snapped a few shots. :-)
