About Me

Hey everyone! (^_^)

I'm a 25 year old girl who lives in central England. I've always loved receiving letters and parcels in the post and I can't wait to get swapping.

It's my dream to travel to Japan one day and I have been learning Japanese at evening class for the past year. Although my Japanese is very basic I am having great fun learning a new language and meeting new people. I love all things kawaii, particularly cute foods with faces. I love music and regularly attend gigs. I enjoy watching films and reading and hope I can find penpals and people to swap with who have similar interests.

Comment: Thank you so much for such a long letter and all of the surprises! ;u; I just adore the cd. <3 I haven't had much time to sit down and read it, but I'll definitely get to it once I have some time and I'll probably write back if I'm not too swamped with things to do. :)

Comment: Thank you SO much for your fantastic package! The ice cream charm is so adorable, and I can't wait to try the Hello Kitty marshmallows (uh, that's what they are, right? lol!). And DECO TAPE too! So wonderful, and so unexpected. One heart doesn't seem like enough. ;) I'll write back very soon! <3
Response: I'm so happy you liked the package *^_^* Yes, they are marshmallows so I hope they haven't got too squashed and are still edible, hehe. Really looking forward to receiving your letter ♥
