Before getting into anime, I was really a cartoon addict. I practically watched like everything, that was on the kid's channel, Ytv and Teletoon (I probably will do if I had a TV). I never really stopped watching the cartoon even after when I reached high school. I also have watched Rugrats, Simpson, Looneytoon, Pinky and the Brain, Futurama, Family Guy, Power puff girls, Dexter's laboratory, Scoobydoo and list goes on and on. Since I always watched from these channels, I got introduced anime slowly through YTV. It ran like an English dub version of Inuyasha, Medabots, Beyblade, Yugioh, Digimon, Pokemon, Gundam, Card Captor Sakura, Naruto, Bleach, Card captor sakura...etc. At first, I really thought they were the same as the cartoons and vigorously watched! However, as I watched more and more of anime with Japanese opening song/ theme such as Inuyasha, Naruto, Ranma 1/2 and etc made me realize the differences between cartoons and anime. After my parents gave me a computer for my room (I was in middle school with window XP and msn era), I started to marathon watch naruto and bleach, (which I was really into them at the time)... I watched them like there's no tomorrow! Thanks to those two, I started watching other animes through PC as well as enjoying my daily doses of cartoons through TV( I had like everything in my room; TV, computer, Gamecube, Playstation, PS2, PSP and GameBoy...probably was a bad idea). I don't think I have ever bought a CD, DVD and anime figures because of my fear towards my parent. I often stayed late since I was little because my parents came home really late after work all the time. So I stayed up late watching, playing until they come home to greet them. I have met and gotten close with lots of babysitter and tutors until I was a high schooler. I had no problem getting along with any of them, and they even often treated me to a movies, buy me foods, walk around the area secretly...I also had to practice piano 1 hr and 30 minutes and write a diary (which my dad checked, screamed at me if I have skipped any or didn't do according to his plan) every day! I never promised to do any of those but...my dad was like you broke a promise!!!! augh... Other than that, I was alone to watch a cartoon, anime and play video games as I please. Parents like hated me to play outside because they wanted to know my schedule and plan...so I spent most of my time in my house. I got myself a pretty bad rebellious stage when I became high schooler and I pretty much avoided them as much as possible. Well, thanks to that, I watched so many cartoons and anime, and they still find me weird that I watch cartoon even to now xD

Do you happen to have a childhood anime/cartoon when you were growing up? or what was your first couple of anime you have watched if I may ask? :) I hope you are doing okay!

People from all over the world send letters to Santa Claus in Finland. There is a big tourist theme park called 'Christmas Land' in the north of Finland, near to where they say that Father Christmas lives." "In Finland, Santa might also be known as Joulupukki! (This really means 'Christmas Goat' as it was traditional in Finland that there was a Yule Goat who was scary and asked people for presents - and certainly didn't give any out! Over time the goat became the gift giver and then Santa took over the gift giving duties but the name of the Christmas Goat was still retained in Finland!) Joulupukki rides with reindeer leaves gifts under the Christmas tree but if you have been naughty you could end up with a bag of coal!" https://www.whychristmas.com/cultures/finland.shtml !!! The place you send your letter to Santa Claus or where Santa lives is in Finland? I only knew that Santa lives somewhere in the North Pole... wow. Have you ever visited Christmas Land before? It sounds like it's like a Disney land there! I kind of get that why reindeers were used! I never knew xD

South Korea's national/representative animal seems to be a Siberian tiger. According to the web, there has been many folklore, history and arts associated with them in the past. However, I have heard that tigers were commonly found in a mountain forest region a long time ago. https://media.giphy.com/media/j2e8DVTStJJL2/giphy.gif In Canada, Beaver seems to be the national animal. There have been an expeditions sent out mainly for Beaver's pelt due to their demands for trading. These expeditions end up helping with mapping and establishing the country, Canada. Afterwards, Beaver has been used as a symbol for the code of arms, war, marking and coin(nickel). "The beaver may not be considered ferocious like some countries other symbols, but it is capable of incredible feats of engineering, it is industrious, and it gets the job done." http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2015/03/24/history-march-241975-the-beaver-canadas-national-animal-symbol/ https://media.giphy.com/media/2V04ngYdkVpnO/giphy.gif
