So I signed up for domestic because I was worried about shipping costs and customs restrictions on food for the snack exchange. Also the US (where I live) is pretty vast and has a lot of different cultures and climates where food I can get in one state has never been heard of in another. I assumed I would be matched with another person also in the US. I was very pleasantly surprised when I got a package from TOKYO! Also it came in fairly quickly for going half way around the world. It had been over a week since marked as shipped but I know some of my packages to the New England area or Alaska took almost two weeks so when it arrived today I was expecting to see maybe Maine or even Hawaii as the return address. Wow was I wrong, and super super excited!!! I didn't even consider the possibility of getting treats from another country! And one I have never been to but would love to go to one day!

My rematch Santa hit it out of the park with this gift. She is from Canada but living in Japan and was able to explore a bit while shopping for my gift! SO many things and mostly sweets which I love! We have little markets out here where they sell come treats from Japan but really only chocolate Pocky and strawberry Kit-Kats. I have never seen some of this stuff before. I am so excited to try everything, even the squid!

Thank you, thank you Rematch Santa for the wonderful selection of snacks. This was the first exchange I've had an original Santa not send anything and I am so very grateful for your generosity. I hope you enjoy immersing yourself in the Japanese culture and good luck with getting the language down (trilingual? wow!). My husband and I hope to make it there one day and now we have a little taste of some of the treats Tokyo has to offer. Thank you again, very, very much!
