From February 13th, residents of Tsukuba can change their car number plates from 'Tsuchiura' area to 'Tsukuba'. I'm not sure why but many people think 土浦 is a bit country bumpkin-ish and rather uncool. As for me, I'm happy that Tsukuba is written in hiragana characters that are really easy to write!
The timing was good for me because this week my car had its 5th year registration. I asked Mazda to change over the number plate at the same time. So now I can boast that my car is one of the first to become 'cool' :)
