Dear beloved friends,

Finally the season we are waiting for passionately is here officially on March 20th as this very day is considered the start of Spring at exactly 12.43 CET. Time to get warmer on the outside too! The Southern Hemisphere welcomes fall as we welcome spring. The Earth is tilting so that for the next six months, the majority of the sun’s light will give its longest and most direct rays to the northern half of Earth. The word equinox derives from the French and means “”equal night”". You will often hear that days and nights are equal on the equinox, only they’re not. They’re close. Check the sunrise and sunset times for where you live to find the exact point of equality for you and watch one if you have the chance.

Dear Sanriotowners,

March 6th is the birthday of cute and adorable Cinnamoroll! By the way, do you know the lovely story of the official mascot of Cafe Cinnamon? If not, check out the “”Meet the Characters”" section of Sanriotown to wish Happy Birthday to our favourite white puppy. And then you will eventually know how he got his name too! (of course it has nothing to do with his plump and curly tail that resembles a cinnamon roll ;o)

Hello Sanriotown friends,

Another birthday arrives on 29th, this is the special day of Pochacco. This date is not existing in the normal calendar as you see, as leap years are every 4 years in eaven years, so there was no February 29th in 1989. But Pochacco lives in the magical world of Sanriotown where everything is possible and where time is ticking differently! We would never want to skip his birthday and make him unhappy so there you are Pochacco, a happy magical birthday to you!
