Awesome!
As to the post - as far as I can gather, it's actually pretty reliable. And unlike Egypt, I'm not unduly worried about the mail-handlers ransacking things and nicking stuff they like.
...'course, if Santa decides to send me a vibrator I could be in trouble, because they're illegal here* (!!!) - but honestly, I doubt that they check the post, and worst case scenario they'd confiscate it. Joyless buggers. Well, or if it were hard drugs (then I could get right down to living that 'Bridget Jones' lifestyle in the Bangkok Hilton!) or something that belittled the King, then I might be in bother. Otherwise, should be good to go, insh'allah.
- which, at the risk of being TMI, should not put Santa off sending such a care package, should the thought have crossed his saintly old head. No indeed.
Talking about foreign customs and attitudes this weekend at the SF con, I was told that while the Japanese are perfectly fine with vibrators shaped like characters and animals, the ones shaped like human body parts are illegal. Thus the plausible deniability.

Guess that's a no on the "Rama IX wears funny glasses" postcard, then.
Just kidding, I'm not your Santa. And if I were, I'd have sent jam. Also, his glasses are sleek and flattering.
Want some jam?
I just got home from vacation yesterday to find a package from (I believe) a CA zipcode, containing the book Wanderlust ( [link] ), a collection of photos from trains, airports, hotels, restaurants, etc. all over the world. Very cool! And since our trip home was the very definition of "hellish" (I was sick, bags went missing, planes were cancelled, then rebooked, then delayed, ad infinitum), I have to say it made me laugh to open up the book and see pictures of people sleeping in airports and feel nostalgic ALREADY for travelling. Anyway, Java cat, I'm assuming the book is from you? If so, thank you! It's perfect!

Huh. Aims and I were at a con this weekend too...
...though I didn't talk about Japanese vibrators.
At least, not that I remember.

I got that for my step-dad!
Dear Seekret Santee,
My deepest apologies for my slackness. I shipped your goodies today via priority mail, so they should get to you by the end of the week. They are contained inside the currently popular "tube" packaging.

I got a journal from that book/guy/whatever when I went around the world--it had pictures and train tickets and so on, printed throughout, it was gorgeous.

Yup! YAY, glad you liked it. It seemed to whisper your name when I saw it.
