As a dear TPFer says, this is a Kelly with an adventure.

When I first saw the photo my heart says "go get it" Unfortunately after winning the bid and I thought it'll reach me pretty quickly, the bag was intercepted at post office since I forgot CITES is necessary for shipping - and neither seller has CITES.

Luckily the bag was retrieved back by the agent - I've to set foot on a small town which I've never been before to pick it up.

woo hoo..........like the exciting beginning already.........

I've to change several trains and finally reached my destination.

I've gone over the maps and train schedules a lot of times, and carry enough cash for taxi just in case I couldn't find my way back to main district. As time is of essence - I can only flew in and flew out the city on the same day - or to be exact, 12 hours.

ooh ......getting more and more exciting.........

Wow, it's Japan, isn't it?
Sounds promising!!

I'm glad I met a very friendly young girl staff who helped me swiftly. With the right carry-on, the orange box fits in perfectly. I celebrated my little success by having a nice bowl of ramen at the famous shop Ichiran:

let the amazing race begin!!!

Wow how exciting! Can't wait to find out more...

now running time..........non-stop.........

Without further ado, I present a rare find to you - hope I understand this colour right. Please chime in if you know more about this amazing shade!

Wow Wow Wow. Just stunning! So gorgeous! Enjoy!!

In real life the shade is not light as on the seller's photo - rather there is a small brownish undertone. But me like it even more.

I tried my best to capture the real colour under the unstable weather in my town this morning.
