I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have had Shin_hatsubai receive my name for Hometown Exchange 2016! This is by far my most favorite exchange out of all, because of the connection you can share with a stranger when they are sharing themselves and their culture with you. Shin, shared so much in this tiny little package! I received some peach flavored candy, preserves, and hot sauce (which is AMAZING!). She also sent me a magnet, coffee mug (that my husband already filled with tea), and some awesome looking fried peanuts from Plains, Georgia. I can keep my beers stylish and cool in two fabulous koozies, where The Braves and Georgia Tech are repped! I'm even going to take her advice to use them on days they may play my most rivaled teams. Shin included an awesome autographed book of local and surrounding Atlanta landscapes and famous points. I'm going to dig into it for some nighttime reading tonight! Speaking of landmarks, Coca-Cola is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia! Shin sent me a Coca-Cola/Atlanta themed t-shirt as well! As you can see, Madigan and Buzz (the Georgia Tech mascot) are already fast and best buddies! They have been inseparable since I opened up Shin's package!

Shin, you completely blew this outta the park. This seriously made my entire month! You're a great Santa... and I can't wait to work my way through your package and learn more about your hometown!
