日本は変な英語であふれている "Engrish" attacking Japan!

こっちに帰ってきて、カイくんの服を見ている時、こういうことがすっごーく頻繁にあるのです。

「あー!この服可愛いやんー!」

(服に何か英語が書かれているのに気づき、読む)

「。。この変な英語は。。。!!笑 アメリカに帰ってからこの服は向こうで着られへんから買われへんなぁ〜。。」


日本のお菓子の袋とか服とかに、よく変な英語が書かれていてそれが可愛くて笑ってしまうことがあります。共通することは、文法が変で、突然何の脈絡もなく何かについて明るい意見を述べており、内容は実に微笑ましい。
中国でもこういうことがあるんだけれど、その場合英語がかなりアグレッシブで、命令口調で、文法がめっちゃくちゃ(中国語の単語をそのまま英語の単語に直訳して単語をずらっと並べているだけの場合が多い)で何を言っているのかも分からないことが多いです。だから、余計に日本で見る英語はほんと可愛いし微笑ましい。

このサイト(engrish.com)がめちゃ面白いので、まだ知らない人は是非見てみてくださーい!!

ちょっと今もサンハットをネットで探していて、面白い英語を見かけたのでJoelに見せてあげたいのでここに貼っちゃうぞー!!!

Sweetie, I found another funny "Engrish" while doing some shopping online. This is pretty cute and funny!!!

Came Osaka to take Kai-kun's professional photos :)
 My aunty said she can put Kimono on me...But you know me, I am so lazy I didn't take the opportunity this time. I will do it next time though!

My cousin Hi-chan is good at making babies lough!!


Hi-chan's cute kids! Kento-kun and Soma-kun. So cute!! :)

Soma-kun is showing off his cool hero tool!!

Hahaha, look at his cute but also mischievous smile!!
So this is the pic we took at the professional place! We bought a package that let us go to the studio three times :)
 Two more to go! 
Yukari-chan, Himeka-chan, Rina-chan, and I all went to this kids festival near our station!

Wakayama people love to throw mochi and candies in the air at festivals! That's all they do when we have festivals...I wonder  what is behind this custom...must be some ethnological reasons!

Kai-kun's favorite ad is UNIDLO's one. I was too take to capture the scene! Well, he likes thid next ad too :)

Our neighbor's puppy! CUTE!!

我が村のアイドルことゆかりちゃんと一緒にお出かけー♡笑
藤、満開やったなー!めっちゃ綺麗やぁーん!?





可愛いポーズをきめ、アイドルと言わしめる理由がここにあり。

We visited Mom's friend's house! This is Haru-chan. Haru-chan is a mix of Golden Retriever and something.
She is SO BIG!

Haru-chan wants more attention. What a cutie!!

Naoki-kun and his Mom :) Naoki-kun is the most friendly adolescent I've ever  known!!
He is born deaf but understands what people say very well. He is such a bright handsome boy! :)


Naoki-kun wants to study design. I asked him to show me some of his drawings! He is very good!! :)



 ちょっとイケメンやろ?笑



 There are so many events going on in May here! There was a scavenger hunt in our neighborhood. 

I saw many route sings in our neighborhood.


The westeria temple is pretty famous. A huge bus is parked in the parking lot! 


These are the old graves I talked about! The writing says Kyoho, which is in Edo Period around 1700. Pretty cool stuff!

My neighbor was looking for a person to adopt this poor cutest KITTEN!!!!!!! She is just over a month old or something...I can gaze at her eyes forever.....
