KendraM is signing off for 2019. Enjoy the holidays with your loved ones. Having them stuck with you for a few days is the perfect opportunity to teach them Mahjong. Have rope and gum tape ready, maybe a taser or two.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

So I was just gonna play a short hanchan on Monday and then upload a fact. Little did I know, that hanchan was written by Fukumoto Nobuyuki, even the drawing of the haipai took hours and now most of my blood is missing.
