Hello again! Here is a weird and fun item from Japan:
Don't worry, the poop is already in a toilet bowl! These bouncy little balls of fun come in different varieties: the toilets come in both Japanese and Western style, and the piles of poop have 10 different colours and facial expressions. Show your super bouncy ball of toilet of poop off to your friends! A great fun, small gift and for slow, boring days.

Welcome back to Cirno's Stuff of the day! For all of you who are learning Japanese, here is a great little accessory to help you out:
Here is a mouse pad that will not only serve as a great flat surface for your mouse, it also features Japanese Hiragana and their “translation” into the alphabet used for the English language! It could also serve as a reminder that you need to practice, because if we don't use a language we will easily forget it. It would be the perfect gift to anyone you know who is trying to learn Japanese, and who couldn't use a mouse pad? Even when not for your mouse, it makes a nice, big coaster!
