Malaysia

February 24, 2014

This large and very decorated (on the back) card arrived from Malaysia recently.  It was sent by Ni-San, who is a huge fan of Japanese anime and manga.  They said they read their first manga before they learned to read alphabets.  Their first drawing was a Japanese ninja.  It was a simple drawing of a person wearing a black hood (something-can't read it) over the face except the eyes.  And the ninja was holding a samurai sword in a striking pose.  They have no idea where did this samurai/ninja imagination come from.  They still keep the notebook where they drew this in a storeroom.

If you like watching romantic Japanese drama series, they recommend "Soratobu (something) (Public Affairs Office in the Sky) As for animated film, "Hotarubi no Mori e" is a good choice.  It is sweet, gentle and very touching.  T_T  They like "bishie" a lot (bishie=beautiful/handsome male character) but not "gay" (and similar kind).  They prefer normal or straight male characters.

Around the edge of the card is a listing of music that the writer is listening to while they write the card to me.

Wow!  Honestly, I'm not an anime fan, so I don't know any of the things that they talk about.  I could be too old, or, it might not be my thing!

There are some interesting stamps on this card too.  Have a look. The cancellation stamps are quite big and cover a lot of the writing and the stamps. 


Thank you for the great and friendly, chatty card!
