So the doorbell rang this morning and it was the postie, with a parcel for me. "Strange", I thought, "I haven't ordered anything, what could this be?". I spied a Customs label, meaning it was from overseas - even stranger! Then I saw the address label of my new Japanese penpal. "It can't be a belated birthday present" I thought, "we've only exchanged one letter each so far, surely she wouldn't be going to the expense of sending me a gift?". So I opened it reeeeeeally carefully, and inside (meticulously wrapped) was this:
HOW SURPRISED AND EXCITED WAS I??????
Actual merchandise from Tokyo Disney!! Bless her, she knows I love Disney and living in Tokyo, the parks are only 40 minutes from her office, so she went after work one night and bought me these - an insulated cup, two Stitch pens and some Japanese candy!! There is even the DisneySea 'Spring Carnival' themed carrier bag that they came in.
I was absolutely blown away by her generosity when, to be honest, we barely know each other yet. It has absolutely made my day, week and probably, month. And I just wanted to share it with you all because I know you'll be so much more impressed than my DH was..!
NB Apologies the pic is so big - I resized it in Photobucket but it refuses to display it any smaller than this here..??
