News in Levels- Hedgehog café in Tokyo

🦔 Hedgehog café in Tokyo 

🦔The news is about the fact that there are many different animal cafés in Tokyo. The cafés have cats, rabbits, owls, hawks, and there are also hedgehog cafés among them.

One of the hedgehog cafés is called Harry, which is actually a homonym for "hari" in Japanese, and hari means "needle". There are 30 hedgehogs can play with you, and each is a different breed.You can spend 9 (weekday) or 12 (weekend) dollars to buy an hour to find these hedgehogs for company.

One customer said that seeing hedgehogs is very rare, and it is the only possible way to do it by visiting the Hedgehog cafés.

🦔I think the hedgehog cafés is very cool! I've only seen them in the pet store but I've never really touched them, and I hope to go and see the hedgehog cafés one day as well, as well as other interesting animal cafes.

Greeting

I'm Sherry. I'm19 now.

I'm from Tainan, Taiwan.

My personality is introverted and optimistic.  And I'm good at listening.

I like both static and dynamic events.

So my hobbies are painting, playing the flute and playing volleyball.

My painting is anime style. And I'm still figuring out how to computer graphics.

In the near future, I aim to learn some Japanese everyday, and I hope to travel independently with friends in the future.

(Here are some of my recent works.)
