   The delivery man came by with a package while I was out and left the slip of paper pictured above in my doorjam. It says that the parcel was sent by "Mr. Foreign Country" (外国様). A friend told me that he once got one of these slips stating that the delivery company was holding a package from a "Mr. Par Avion" for him.
