Well, we had just finished a pretty decent Indian buffet on Sunday afternoon before we walked out into this strange mall and noticed this guy sitting on a shelf:
Behold, Totoro. I've been wanting one of these guys for awhile now, but in the states he's always so expensive. This scruffy yet soft Studio Ghibli version (none of that fake crap that makes Totoro look like some sickly gray second cousin of Garfield) retailed for 120RMB, about $17.50 USD. That's a wonderful deal! I guess "made in China" doesn't always have to be a bad thing. :P
So now our furry friend gets in our way when we sleep at night (if you couldn't tell, he's quite rotund), but we don't mind much. It's a small price to pay for some good childlike comfort. I'm such a baby.
The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure Josh is even more fond of him than I am.

He is sooooo cute!! I can totally imagine Totoro rolling around in between you guys in bed. I also imagine him breathing really heavily keeping you guys awake at night.
