International exchanges have always interested me because I love the sense of connection you get from your santas and giftees even though you're all so far away. Knowing that something that came from distant lands and arrived at my doorstep after a journey of thousands upon thousands of miles fills me with a sense of wonder and awe.

My santa quickly shipped the gift way before the shipping date so by the time it arrived, not even the shipping deadline had passed. It's fun to receive gifts, but it's always more fun when they arrive without you even expecting them!

Clementoni have always been a hallmark of puzzles. Their puzzles are made from recyclable cardboard which is still of great quality. Each piece just fits together like a soulmate. I was super excited when I saw that it was a Clementoni puzzle.

I like puzzles that have a significant location on them, and I have been very interested in the Japanese culture. So what better than a puzzle depicting the cultural hub of Japan!

I really love this puzzle, and will be piecing it together in my free time very soon.

Thank you santa!
