I bought a similar one in Germany when I was ten and loved it! I actually still have it, although our daughter uses it now. I have always wanted to find another one (preferably not pink this time!) but couldn't find them anywhere. I could never understand why they weren't available in North America because they are awesome! Thank you so much for the link.
