Gifts from Japan
2.28.2006 9:42 PM \| Link	Yesterday I got a great package from my pals Matt & Kumiko in Japan! They got me a cool Nova Usagi spaceship toy (plus a neato cell phone strap) for my birthday, with light-up eyes and engines! Nova Usagi is the mascot of Matt's company - usagi means rabbit, but Nova Usagi is a weird rabbit with a beak. It's a great addition to my Japanese toy collection! (You can watch the Nova Usagi spaceship in action in this commercial!) Kumiko sent me delicious chocolate cigars for Valentine's Day (in Japan, girls give chocolate to guys on Valentine's Day). They came in a nice box and they each have a cigar label and everything - inside they are chocolate covered cookies, and completely delicious! Just for fun, here's a brief rundown of Japanese-esque things I did today. I listened to J-Pop in my car and on my iPod, bought five new manga volumes at lunch, read NewType (about anime) and drank a Japanese beer when I got home, watched an episode of Gatchaman, and completed a Rosetta Stone Japanese lesson. That's a pretty typical day for me! Labels: life
