When we studied Japan earlier this year, we contacted one of the ladies on the group who lives in Japan and asked if she would do a swap with us. Kim said yes and her parcel arrived today.
Kim has included so many things!! The girls were thrilled and so was I with all the extra little bits she put in and did.
Here is what we received in our parcel:
Above: 1 - little envelopes for each child with their name written in Japanese, and containing coins and notes - you can imagine how this impressed the kids!
2- fans and chopstick holders
Above: 1 - Japanese toys and kites. 2 - model of Tokyo tower and info.
Above: 1 - Tea towel and coasters (?),
2 - Pack of cards - which Kim has written all the words on for us.

This was fantastic swap - thanks to Kim and we hope she was please with the bits we sent her from Australia. Kim asked us for some specific things and not a true continent box swap for her, which we were happy to do. These things will make our Asia continent box really interesting. What an exciting way to learn about the Continents and how other people live.
Lol, wow thanks for posting about our swap. It's so great to see the kids happy faces. The ? Coasters are actually a traditional Japanese card game thats kids play. I will let you know what it's called as soon as hubby gets home.
