Trivial Things I Like About Living In Japan



Moomins. When I was a kid I had one Moomin novel, Comet in Moominland. I really loved it, but for whatever reason I never got my hands on any others. Moomins are rare in Saskatchewan. In Japan, however, they thrive, and I am enjoying it! I've bought The Finn Family Moomintroll in English and in Japanese, and plan to attempt reading it. (It's quite hard for me.) And I have Moomin biscuits and Moomin tissue. It's rad.

I went to the Moomin puppet show at English Bay when I was a kid - it was F*CKING AWESOME. I'm glad you're now full of Moomin things. I was hoping to get Rilakkuma (I think that's how you spell the Zipper Bear Sanrio character...) stationary etc...but I couldn't find any. Glad you're having fun. It's HOT here now...like 28C hot.
