There is something that has stolen my heart.
I am in love with Rilakkuma Bear.
In Taiwan there are several chains of 24 hour convenience stores: Family Mart, Hi Life, and 7-11's.
They are almost everywhere you go, and each one has it's own promotion.
Family Mart has Astro Boy, Hi Life has teddy bears, and 7-11 has Rilakkuma Bear.

When you buy things they give you stickers. When you collect enough stickers you can redeem them for food or products, or get toys. At the 7-11 I always get a little Rilakkuma Bear.
The box looks like every other box, so you never know what's inside of it,
kind of like Kinder Toys (which I used to collect in High School).
Yup. This type of marketing works on me, and I've had a lot of help collecting stickers from people who really don't care that much about stickers (which is almost everyone).
Rilakkuma is everywhere!
And I have a wish. I want this costume for Halloween!
I imagine wearing it and walking around the halls of the school where I teach.
I think the kids would go bonkers!
