Oolong is so calm and patient -- he never gets angry when I take pictures of him. When I put various objects on his head, he stays still for a minute. This is just a result of an intimate relationship between me and Oolong.

Oolong's headperformance-- many foreigners seem to feel it 'crazy', but Japanese people feel it just cute and funny. It is the difference of international feeling.
Hmm.
