Ok, so technically white day a week away, and it's not celebrated in the states, but who cares? I'm having the best white day ever! And I owe it all the Tim-san my English teaching NZ- Japan transplant pen pal. In exchange for some M&M brownies I got a myriad of Hello kitty presents and treats. Not to mention St. Patty's day package wrapping which is decked in shamrocks- is it weird to debate tossing or keeping packaging? One of my favorite bits is an article on Hello Kitty. Here are some cool facts on her majesty Kitty.
-She is named after one of Alice in Wonderland's cats
-She's not Japanese! She was "born" in London in 1974 and her surname is "White"(how perfect for white day?)
-There is a Hello Kitty shrine in Singapore (what do you expect from people who cane you for chewing gum?)
-She apparently weighs "3 apples" and is "five apples" tall
-She is perpetually in 3rd grade
-On the market there are odd Hello Kitty products not limited to: a vibrator, a master card, tarot cards, and a 330-200 Airbus plane
