Dude I’m in love with this postcard that reached me from Taiwan! This is an anime-style card with everything “kawaii” that you could imagine. “Kawaii” is the Japanese word for “cute”, although when a non-Japanese speaker goes out of his or her way to call something “kawaii”, it’s probably to acknowledge the Japanese style or origin of the thing being described. So while I might not call a newborn baby “kawaii”, I would say things like Hello Kitty and Pompompurin would fit the bill. Anyway, I’m enamored by this card! I’m not sure if this is based on some other original content but in either case I think it’s so neat. I feel like I could play “I Spy” with this card and find every type of kawaii snack: Pocky sticks, strawberries, cake, chocolates, macarons, and wrapped candies! And I get a couple Halloween vibes from the bat lights and the pumpkins. Thank you so much for this marvelous postcard, Vicky!
