  1. I have got that stamp from Pakistan, but I didn’t know about the name of the hat. Anyway, “Q” is not an easy letter!

    In my language (Catalan) you write Ecuador as Equador 🙂

    • Also in my language (Italian) is Equador, and the line that crosses is equatore. About the hat, unfortunately, the name is called after the endangered species of lambs that provide the pelt to make it. 😦

  2. Now I’ve learned about the Japanese quarantine

    I always knew that hat as an Astrakhan.

    For the next round, remember you can use any language for the letter – catalan or italian or spanish, or whatever language you know.

  3. I didn’t know those hats had a name, but I didn’t know they were made of a specific sheep of the same name either. I’ll have to make a note of that to use for any Q prompts in the future!
