Presents from Sweden


My parents sent me some Christmas presents. They arrived when I was not home, but in Japan everything is open 24 hours per day, so I took my bicycle through the snowstorm to the 24h post office that was holding my package and got it around midnight. It turned out to contain licorice (yay!), green tea with licorice (yay!) and dried apples from the family summer house garden. Apparently the apple trees there gave ridiculous amounts of apples (70kg?) this year, so my parents made apple cakes, apple pies, apples as gifts, apple juice, apple jam, and all kinds of things. They also dried some of the apples and sent them to me. They were very good. There was also a cute hedgehog toy animal in the package.
