Nippon Obsession (1): Chibi Maruko-chan's Stamp

Chibi Maruko-chan's Family on stamp :)
Chibi Maruko is one of my favourite Japanese cartoon. Its shown on TV in Malaysia and I have the comic books (translated to Bahasa Malaysia). Chibi Maruko-chan is more realistic compared to some other cartoons because it shows the daily life of Maruko, her family and friends.

Nippon Obsession (Intro)

Japan/Nippon/日本/Jepun/Jepang - The Land of the Rising Sun! I'm in love with this country since the first day of my first visit. That was back in March 2010. I have happy and sad memories in this particular country, lots of smiles and laughter, followed by continuous tears of sorrow. It took me several months to recover from the grief. :(

I'm amazed with the culture, discipline, food, art, hospitality, technology, etc. etc. of Japan and its people. They queue in line while waiting for public transport, not knocking into each other while walking even in the busiest stations during the rush hour, trains and buses are clean and punctual, how they recovered from the Tohoku Earthquake.

I'm learning some simple Japanese language now, I can read and write hiragana now. I plan to travel across Japan one day, from Okinawa to Hokkaido. :D

Konnichiwa.
Watashi wa Lee desu. Malaysia kara kimashita.
Douzo yourishiku onegai shimasu.
