Stamp rally time! What's a stamp rally? Well, I never heard of one before coming to Japan. A stamp rally is an event where you go to different designated places to have a card stamped. Once you get all of the required stamps, you get a prize. The Tokyo Metro subway system just had a stamp rally for the movie Inside Out. We traveled to five different stations to stamp our cards. Once we got all five stamps, we sent them in the mail to the address listed on the card. Completed cards equal entries into a contest where we can win various Inside Out prizes like free movie tickets. To be honest, the odds of winning are terrible for this particular rally. I highly doubt we'll win anything. However, I'll keep you updated if my guess is incorrect.
Like most movies in Japan, the release date for Inside Out trails the worldwide release. We'll get the movie on July 17, 2015, more than a month after the U.S. Can't wait. Unfortunately, the stamp rally ends on June 30, 2015. So if you want a chance
to win, you better get started quickly. Each Tokyo Metro station has
the cards for you to start the rally. If you don't participate, great. Better chances for us even as slim as they are.
Anyhoo, here are some pictures of the stamp rally.

 |
| Anger was found at Shinjuku San-Chome station. I can't remember which line it was but I think it was the Marunouchi line. I was pretty grumpy because I was hungry when we found Anger, so he was pretty appropriate for me. |

| Got Anger! |
 |
| We found Joy at Nihonbashi station. I'm not sure which line it was. |
 |
| We got Disgust at Shin Ochanomizu station on the Chiyoda line. |

| Here's Disgust! |
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for the read and have a good rest of the weekend!
