Sometimes Stefan buys something sweet on his way home and bring it to me.
Last week he brought a little Santa hat! How cute it is!! There was something inside… Mmm..
“Chocolate!” Wa–i! But I was more interested in the hat. Of course I tried to put it on. But… my head is too big.
I don’t wanna waste of this little cute hat. Fortunately in my house we have a white small pet which is called “Yuki-chan”. (It comes from the “Heidi” story. One of the famous story from Switzerland!)
For Yuki-chan the hat was little bit big but no problem. She looks very cute and looks like Santa Claus’s partner!
No!!!! Yuki-chan isn’t a reindeer, she is a goat!!!
By the way lots of people in Japan know “Heidi”. I think children not so much. Because the Heidi was on TV very long time ago. Because of this when Japanese people hear “Switzerland” some of them answer “Heidi”.
But as far as I know when I tell about this to Swiss people, they are not so happy. (Especially young ages) Because they don’t smile. Maybe they don’t like the imagies “Just mountain and green” I mean imagine of countryside. Since then I stopped saying this to Swiss people.
Like… when Japanese people meet foreigners and they say “sushi” or “camera”. We are also tired of hearing this. But one thing different is we smile even we don’t like it. But not so much when you look at their eyes properly you will notice.
Interesting culuture difference! But sometimes difficult to understand each other even we use the same language to communicate. But I can say there are some things which are impossible to get over. Because of different nationalities.
