Shanghai surprise.




I must make it to Shanghai one day!
There are entire department store sections stacked with Hero fountain
pens!

These are the four that made it
back with Kayen and Pris. I received them after much pseudo-hemming-and-hawing
from Kayen, who enjoyed answering my text messages with “pen…tel!” and
“ball…pen!” and “pen pen de sara…pen!” and other such flimflammery.

On a related note, I learned that credit
card slips do not play nice with my Pilot Murex.
