Handmade Paper
The next time you write a letter to a dear relative on the other side of the world, why not make it that extra bit special and use Handmade Paper instead? Better still, why not use paper that has been recycled and is an environmentally friendly type of product. It`s possible to buy paper that has been recycled from animal dung and elephant droppings might have been used in the initial process. This paper is used by people who not only care about the environment that they live in, but they also care for the welfare of animals too. In certain parts of the world elephants are mistreated badly and foundations have been set up to care for them in their natural environment. A number of paper suppliers support such worthy causes and they sell the elephant dung Handmade Paper in respect of such foundations. Only a small percentage of dung is used in the Handmade Paper but the quality of the natural recycled product is exemplary. A relative that cares about the environment and wildlife at the same time will certainly appreciate getting a letter from you if it has been carefully written on the caring range of Handmade Paper.

Bonsai
The Japanese and Chinese languages are something of an unfathomable mystery to many of us in the North West corner of Europe. All those strange symbols are not our cup of tea when it comes to making sense of the written word. At least many European languages use the same or similar alphabet so we can make an ill educated guess at what a word might possibly sound like. Despite having had a limited but (some may consider) reasonable amount of contact with Japanese people through my work in the past, I am thoroughly ashamed to admit that my only command of their ancient and complex language is restricted to the words for `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and the appropriate response to `thank you` which means `don`t mention it` or `you are welcome` and sounds (phonetically, at least) something remarkably like `don`t touch my moustache`. In fact, our experience of South East Asian culture in general is pretty much restricted to affairs of the stomach. That is unless, of course, you are familiar with the ancient art of Bonsai. Any initiate of the art of Bonsai will be able to add to your vocabulary of `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and `don`t touch my moustache` two more words of Japanese to increase your fluency. These make up the two halves of the word Bonsai and are `bon` which I am reliably informed is the word in Japanese for basin or bowl) and, (you guessed it) `sai` which apparently means `to plant`. There you are, your first lesson in Bonsai (pronounced bon-sigh) is over. Bet you still can`t write it in Japanese, though.
