Yay! I Got A Post Card From Tokyo, Japan Today!

So I got a post card from Tokyo, Japan from my Xanga friend Sylvia aka MorningMoka today! :)

It really made my day.

When I got home and saw an Air Mail envelope in my mail box, who I thought did I know overseas?

Then I remembered Sylvia had written a blog entry recently saying anyone who would like a post card from Japan to please message her.

Since I had never received a post card from Japan before, I did so.

The postcard was a lovely Japanese print of a nobleman holding up a sword.

The postcard certainly brought a dose of autumn warmth to my day in Canada. :)

Sylvia also sent me a bag of Japanese tea which I shall drink on a special occasion. :)

She also included a haiku from the most famous poet of the Edo period Matsuo Basho (who lived from 1644-1694):

Fragile twigs
breaking off the
scarlet papers
Autumn wind.

-Matsuo Basho
(1644-1694)


Thanks again Sylvia for your lovely post card! :)

I wish you well with your studies in Paris, France! :)
