Possibly my favorite thing (tough to choose) about this whole present was that my gifter deduced my love of Swahili and painted Swahili proverbs/advice on my mug (to live every day like it's your last, and how to be happy!). Well I am happy! She should have just written, "Mtu aliye na kikombe hiki atafurahi." (The person who has this cup will be happy!)
