It is Very Happy Time
June 25th, 2008Ah, fresh fruit. So delicious, so tantalizing, so…expensive. Especially the tart is dearly missed.
We picked up this stationary set at one of the many 100 yen shops around town. Many good hours spent looking at things with jacked-up English on them.
Lately the prices of fresh fruit have gone down a little bit as things come into season. You even start to think “Wow, the watermelons are down to $16.50!” and then you remember that back home they’re $6 and the size of your entire body.
I did see some “Sweet America Cherries” imported from California the other day. Made me smile, and they were a bargain at $5 for 10 of em. I MISS FRUIT!

Good old 日本語 grammar mixed with English. Always a good subject for humorous musings. Like your blog and comic by the way.

Glad to hear you enjoy it Dustin, I hope to keep things rolling around here after a much needed break. Thanks for the support!
I’m always on the lookout for crazy Engrish, and there is a ton of it around. I have some more photos and such but some of them I’m saving for related comics. I really need to carry my camera around while I’m out shopping, but I always think I’ll get approached by store people for taking photos, and I’ll be terrified since I wouldn’t understand what they’re saying… I think I spend too much time worrying about how to avoid human interaction and not enough time just doing what I do…
