funny japan.

here are some funny/interesting things i've seen in the past few weeks!


this one is a sign i saw in a train station. what is that man doing to that poor bird? and why does that girl want to watch??


then, last week, i worked at a summer camp for junior high kids wanting to learn english. it was really fun! and it was great to be closer to nature, but it was still quite a bit different the summer camp i experienced as a kid!


and the food was a bit different, too!


it leads, i will follow! this is a great, horrible english translation! (if you like this, you should check out engrish.com)


and then i saw these two ads next to each other the other day in tokyo and i found myself thinking, "even as a heterosexual woman, i have to say that i find the young samurai girls quite a bit sexier than the delicate, feminine men." maybe i've been here too long...



and finally, not all that funny, but really great:

this was a random spot in tokyo the other day. just one of the many little surprises in this incredible city.


and i finally got a guitar the other day! yay!!!!
