Paku! Paku!

A year ago yesterday I posted about Paku the panda. Well, my dear friend Greg went on a trek to find me one! Paku traveled all over the world to get to me starting in a little store in Harujuku. Greg snapped this picture of the beginning of his journey. Note the little panda getups the store girls have.

Paku begins his journey

Every once in a blue moon I would get a note from Paku. Like this one from July 24. Greg found this note scrawled on the back of a gum wrapper, with an attached photo of Paku.

"thingz getting out of hand, but i should make it through bangkok very soon. got myself hooked up in this den of iniquity 'somewhere' in the mekong triangle but i've almost managed to extricate myself from it. possibly if we're optimistic. more later, chin up."

Paku...in the dark...

Then in September, Greg snapped this picture "he wakes up with terrible cotton mouth....on a WEDNESDAY, no less!" Note the eye mask...poor Paku.

Paku, hungover!

But today, he showed up on my doorstep!! Paku arrived ready for winter, complete with little pink scarf and pink mittens on a string (with little gold paw prints on them, LOL!) Just in time for Project 365 Day 011 pics! Romeo in particular LUVS his new little friend. Greg, thanks for keeping him safe for the last year. :)
