Thank you! Sis!
My sister came home with a gift for me. She bought me a T-shirt from UNI QLO, which is a Japanese chain store selling clothes for men and women as well as houseware items. You can even find traditional Japanese costume in there. It’s an unique chain store selling stuff with low price range, but in reasonable good quality. I did buy my mini suitcase in their Tokyo store long time ago, which only cost me 1,000.00 Yen. It was just about HKD70.00. It’s great in value as now my suitcase still looks so new. Well, anyway, it’s hard to find anything broken from my belongings. I looked at my umbrella properly today, and figured out that it has been with me for eleven years. It still looks fine, and functions well. It walked me through many sunny and rainy days.
Okay, here is my new T-shirt from my sister. 
She knows I love this sort of traditional Japanese pattern. It looks very Japanese. I like its handmade paper tag. It says at the back of paper:
T-shirts based on the collaboration with Japan’s traditional companies and corporations dealing with history-rich products. They were designed through the fusion of each company’s originality and our creators’ ideas. These items are characterized by their Japanese-style prints and their richness in color tone.

Freinds and myself travelled to Japan or New York found UNIQLO. There is a headquarter in NYC, right next to our Levi’s store on Broadway in SOHO. I were there in April, discovered this store. I spent at least couple of hours there, the dressing room had a line of customers. Bought two pair of skinny jeans (with nice gold tone sundries, great looking Indigo, gave one pair to Kandy for her birthday present), a tunic blouse, a flowry top, a pair of denim flats, a black wrap sweater with traditional Japanese design with a tweak, total under US$200. Love UNIQOL!
What a coincidence that I am currently reading your blog in Kobe, Japan. In a very traditional hot spring hotel (New Akao Hotel) that I stayed just 24 hours ago, the housemaid placed exactly the same swan origami in my room. I have yet found anything inexpensive in Japan. Last night, our tour guide took us to the China Town in Kobe for a walk. A deep fried “yau-cha-qui” was priced 200 yens.
