We lived in Japan three years. We loved it! However, we did think the local English was too funny. We have to give the Japanese credit for trying. This is a snap shot of what our conversations were like with our friends. Bless them - they were so kind and gracious!

Q. What are we doing today? *A.We go mountaintop.* *Then seetrees aplenty.* *After we golake* *Rapid boatride too.* *When finished allwet.* *So bring changeclothes.* OK - How do we get up to the mountain? *Easy one - Cupcake!* *Go by mycar.* *Stationwagon size.* *All fit in OK.* *I know way* *So no problem!* OK, Thank you, when do we go? *Yes - we go now please...* *PS: A GREAT time was had by all.*

Too funny! Thanks for sharing. Coincidentally, last night a friend showed me the link www.engrish.com and we had a good laugh at many of the signs. If you haven't been in, check it out. I'd love to read more about your experiences in Japan.

Such fun. I use to help my husband mark exams from the courses he taught in Richmond, a very Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean area of Vancouver. Oh my goodness the chinglish was so amusing at times. Thanks, J'nia

So lovely of you to be able to appreciate the quaint impression their speaking of our language was for you while honoring their efforts. Fun read too. Be well, Kathy
