Yeah, today I have a funny umbrella story for you. Everyone knows that Rip uses an umbrella when she is walking outside. Probably to protect her from the sun. Now, the question was: What color umbrella she used? In the manga we see her with a white umbrella from the Sumon's Store and in the OVA she uses a yellow umbrella without text. I have chosen the yellow one. Do you know thats d*mn hard to find a regular yellow umbrella. I was been in different umbrella (and hat) stores. They have any kinds of umbrellas: black, white, green, ... but NO REGULAR YELLOW UMBRELLA!!!
They have yellow umbrellas with flowers, butterflies, MICKEY MOUSE but NO REGULAR YELLOW UMBRELLA!!! So, yesterday, when I truely give up hope, I saw in "Blokker" (thats how the store calls) THE PERFECT YELLOW RIP UMBRELLA!!! Can you imagine that I almost searched 10 fancy umbrella stores to find myself a stupid regular yellow umbrella and I found it in a bargainstore? Why didn't I looked there in the first place? So, I got my yellow Rip umbrella for only 5 euro (aprox. 3 bucks) while you can pay easely 23 euro (aprox. 20 bucks) for a yellow childerensumbrella with Mickey Mouse.
People, don't do the same mistake as I did. FIRST SEARCH THE BARGAINSTORES!
