Well, I'm shaking with delight, I truly am. My regifter for the Halloween exchange apparently forgot about me until I reminded her recently, and just then, she showed up at my doorstep bearing a basket full of sugary treats proclaiming to be from the internet, and a stupendous canvass painting of an 'overly-tanned geisha' - her words not mine :)

Psycadet did a little bit of snooping and found out I'm a Japanese teacher, so written on her painting is a small letter written in Japanese that says: 'You waited a few months. Sorry, but your present is headphones and a camera'. So in the context of this gift it makes absolutely no sense :D But I think that was the idea as she went to badtranslator.com and typed 'Sorry, not keeping in contact with you your gift over the last few months, please accept my gift of art and sweet treats'.

Your Japanese handwriting is fairly good btw.

Yknow I'm really really happy it wasn't headphones and a camera, this painting is far betterer. :D

I just wish my video-graphing skills are a tad better.. haha But I thought it would be awesome if I laid in wait at home, and start video taping as I opened the door... It looks absolutely horrible.. haha But yeah.

Anywho, lets have a looksee at what's in here...

A wonderful little picnic basket! 5x groovy pop things that look like citrus fruits and flower thingys :D

Before I go any further, I really have been blessed by my secret santas over the course of my stay here. This place really puts a smile on my face :D Also this is the first time ever I think I've actually celebrated Halloween! Shame it's in January, but them's the breaks :D

WOW, you said you were a starving student? I would have been most pleased with a bottle of coke or something...

You mentioned something about an Adelaide reddit meetup? I'm so there, and I'm so getting you something nice.

I am beside myself, this is amazing, it really truly is. Sorry my Awkward penguin-ness allowed for less than highly stimulating door-side conversation, but I can't express how happy this gift has made me. Thanks so much for putting the effort into organising this gift for me :D

Awesome.
