a Get 50 meishi

This is my meishi, my business card. It's a real big deal to exchange meishi with Japanese people. They are to be exchanged using both hands while bowing. Then the meishi are to be carefully put in a special place, not just tossed into a purse, and are NEVER to have notes scribbled on them. The meishi is considered an extension of one's person.
