Japan News and Notes 12/28/07
First of all I wanted to show you all my finished elephant Amigurumi rattle:
Isn’t he just adorable? Well I think so and I hope my friends baby enjoys playing with it.
I also discovered an new item for my Japan to do list - I want to take part in a Stamp Rally which I discovered through DannyChoo.com. These stamps can be collected at various train stations and at other popular destinations in Japan. Some of the stamps look absolutely stunning and I can imagine tons of uses for them. I’ll be buying a stamp book at the 100 Yen store to carry with me when I am out sightseeing so that I won’t miss one!
I also found one item that I will definitely not be purchasing while I am in Japan - a suit that is washable in the shower and doesn’t need to be ironed! The Mainichi Daily News wrote an article on this and there are versions for both men & women. I just can’t imagine how it would look after a few washings but it’s certainly very innovative!
Have a great weekend!

Thanks SO MUCH for posting this entry! I have been going CRAZY trying to find info on where to buy a stamp book! I’m trying to organize a stamp rally here in DC. Can you give me any information on where I might find one of these books? Thanks so much!
