how english was supposed to be
SW is back from a brilliant, nostalgic (the Japanese word natsukashii sums it up well) and at times bittersweet 10 days in Kochi Prefecture , Japan . I know I had reasons in early 2001 for deciding to forego another year in an amazing place where I constantly had hilarious misadventures with a group of excellent friends, but fucked if I can remember what those reasons were.
Surely the best way to enjoy internet.
Let's!
My favourite kind.
Don't even consider any other type of wedding system.
HOW CAN YOU NOT BE MOVED???
First: a few examples of sublime Japanese English. There are more and better examples here, but I took the photos below…
1. Computer at Osaka Kansai airport (4 photos)Ah! So that's what you can do.
Surely the best way to enjoy internet.
Let's!
Also, a comment on Japanese keyboards (below) -- the space bar is WAY TOO FUCKING SMALL. Especially for big clumsy fingers.
2. BeerCan't argue with that.
3. MustardPersonally, I think they're aiming at too narrow a market.
4. Coffee #1
My favourite kind.
5. Coffee #2My second-favourite kind.
Maybe one day they'll bake bread perfectly again.
6. Bread
The implication of an unfriendly counter is chilling.
7. At a supermarket
8. Marriage (with MG)
Don't even consider any other type of wedding system.
9. My favourite...

Haha, great! They did learn the past tense at baker school but unfortunately forget when to use it.
you're back! I've had to work for the past week with no amusing distractions. With your latest tight deadline I look forward to more procrastination and SW entries.
Back and BRISTLING, anon. Bristling.
'Friendly Counter' - you know I've always wanted to eat a meal in a Food Court which has wood panelling, a dock and jury box. In which your plate is announced by a judge with a gavel. Justice is SERVED!
Only in Japan might such a thing exist.
