So it's been nearly 2 years (September 2009) since I started collecting all things Japanese (and some Chinese things) So here is how my collection has grown (I do have past photos here so check them out if your wish ^-^)
I don't think it's gotten too big.. do you??
First is a Hello Kitty bag my uncle got me for my 18th (Limited Ed!) Love it<3 And it's bag that it came in ^-^
Next to it is my Ankh doll, Geisha-like doll, my Kamenashi 2009 rainbow necklace, Kamenashi Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge Host Club Necklace, Yamashita Tomohisa Buzzer Beat Keyring, Kanjani8 Earrings (one of the members wore these) and a Japanese pendant my Japanese friend gave me at the beginning of 2010 <3

I think I have something like.. *counts* 100 magazines costing me over 500GBP in total?
So if I get robbed or there's a fire, not only will I be heartbroken that they're gone but also kinda happy when I see the policemen's faces when I'm like "yeah they were 50 pound a month for 5! So times that by 18 months officer! Also, I have some others that cost my up to 20 pound per magazine so that's another 20 times 20... now let's get on to talk about how much my photobooks cost me..." haha xD The police would be SCREWED! Damn the fire or theives if it happen -_- meanies...
