Seen today:
A black skater shirt, for boys of approximately 10 or 12 or so.
Cool flame patterns on the sleeves and... cool text on the chest.
The cool text read as follows:
"ORDER MY DREAM SWEET LOVE 68! VERY GOOD"

Instant Japan feeling!

I do wonder what the designer of that t-shirt was thinking, though. I mean, what is this supposed to mean? If it was 69 instead of 68, I suppose it would make a vague kind of sense. Even though I'd find it disconcerting if kids of, like, 11 ran around promoting "SWEET LOVE 69!"
Then again, this is the 21st century of the fruitbat.

I just saw the commercial for the Whee Wii Fit balance board thingy. For the first time, I saw it on German tv.
I was all confused why they weren't saying "Wii Fitto" anymore. That thing will forever be the "Wii Fitto" in my brain.

I had a similar experience last week, when I was on the train, and the train was pulling into the station, and the conductor said, "Please get off on the left-hand side." Except not in English.
And I was all Huh? WTF? Why is he speaking German?
Before I went, Because this is Germany, stoopid. Why should he be saying "O-deguchi wa hidarikawa desu"?

Sometimes I can hardly imagine I've actually been there, and then sometimes it seems parts of my brain haven't come back home...

Which reminds me I still haven't posted any of my Kyôto pictures. >_>
