Making A Co-Worker Happy With An Ambush

When a co-worker at my "parachute" job as a community patrol officer learned that I was going to Japan, he asked me to bring him something.

Being the nice guy that I am, I picked up a Bandai 6" Heisei Godzilla at a toy shop in Asakusa for him.

This morning, I had his toy and a copy of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan waiting for him when he showed up for work. Here's a couple of photos of when he discovered the items. I ambushed him with my camera for fun.





Getting him the Godzilla toy worked great! This is his first Godzilla toy. I found out that he's a G-fan and says he has a Godzilla card from the 1980s. He said he'll bring it in when I see him next week.
