Besides just a mention on twitter I never really fully extended my hand to fully and honestly thank Alan from Shibuya246 for sending me a little package of Japanese goodies for his contest he held quite a while back. Basically I gave him a couple of reasons as to why I should have a few pieces of merchandise which has extremely cute animals saying simple things in Japanese on them. Granted I was the runner-up in the contest as I was unable to to guess the time a certain picture was taken but I was still quite pleased as I received much more than I thought I would. Despite probably being bought with some pocket change in Japan in Australia it would be quite hard to find…

I would have to say my favorite one is the little notepad……. but there’s a few more…

Stickers, a pencil and nice little cloth that I think I’ll use to keep my iPod rested on…

My daruma likes all the cool new things…

Naturally I couldn’t forget the awesome Haruhi folder…

I would just like to let you know this is an open invitation for you to also send me cute animal riddled merchandise and such.
