Signs here are [obviously] written in Japanese and usually English too. It's these translated signs that are funny. More than 75% of the time, at least of the signs I've seen, they aren't correctly translated into English correctly. The translated signs are usually funny and are commonly known as "Engrish."I went out with some friends a couple of weeks ago and this sign was posted beside a vending machine. It was funny to me at the time, so funny that I had one of them take my picture with it. Now that I look at it it's not nearly as entertaining as it was that night...after a few tanqueray and tonics!

its a cute sign.
I saw your blog on a blogroll and "U.S. Navy Family in Japan" caught my attention. :) My husband recently joined the Navy and I was hoping to find more wives/families who blog! Not to mention, I remember signs like that! My father was in the military and we spent 6 years in Japan.
Hi Katie! Where are you? Traveling? Maybe the girls are back in school and you're busy! I miss seeing new posts.
Take care!
