Things are going pretty well. I think it's safe to say that we're pretty settled by now. Granted, I still feel illiterate everywhere I go, but hopefully I can change that soon enough with some Japanese classes.
Speaking of which, the use of "English" here is...interesting to say the least. Since Val and I can't read a lick of Japanese, we often rely on the English signage and labels that seem to be in abundance. The only thing is, you can't trust it! It doesn't make any damn sense! Here, look at this:
See what I mean? They have a whole paragraph of nonsensical garbage. Just when you think it's going somewhere, bam! Question mark city. For some reason I keep thinking whatever they write probably sounds awesome in Japanese but it's a tad lost in translation.
It's also funny seeing the Engrish on the clothing that people wear here. My 2 fav's so far was a dude that had 'FUCK' woven into the gloves he was wearing. Ballsy I'd say..but then again, no one gets the joke here. I'm still thinking I can probably wear some t-shirt that has something ridiculously obscene on it. Perhaps I'll try it someday. The other awesome shirt I saw was on this 7 year old kid in Costco. It said "PISSING IN THE RIVER". All caps! I tried to get a picture of it, but I'd look like the weird one trying to take a picture of a little boy. Very Michael Jackson-ish.
Well, short post for today. More to come soon!

DUDE. . that sign totally made sense to me, it was saying it's a crepe shop and they have good desserts :)
It seems like you're enjoying your stay. Hope all is well, take care.
Cheers
