Oh yea, on Thursday i went to our customer's shop for the 1st time. Actually since my collegue had to deliver some hardware there, we decided to eat there as well. So off all of us went to Ikano, and we were hanging around at the customer's shop. For us new staff, being the sakai's that we were, we examined every item in the shop. They really sell a lot of strange items, all related to throwing a kids party. They even had Willy Wonka sweets there like the everlasting gobstoppers from the book. One unique thing they sell that we seldom find in malaysia is this :
What is this? My collegue said maybe it was for burning at Qing Ming, where they burn those paper stuff to ancestors. We all laughed like crazy. Actually it is a pinata, A paper thing filled with sweets to be knocked with a stick by a blindfolded person. I think it originated from Latin America or something. I never saw one of those before except in books.
At the party world, they sell many pinatas, shapes ranging from horses to footballs. They remind me of lanterns, hung up in shops during mooncake festival, only these were made of of some sort of paper
