I'm sorry that I haven't written for a long time. I have to be honest- Germany is not particularly blog inspiring.I do have things to write about but can't sort my photos out on my little netbook so you will have to wait a bit longer.
Everyone is aware of Engrish when we're in Japan an
d we all scoff at how ignorant they can be. What we don't realise is how ignorant we are here about Asian things or I suppose anything from anywhere a bit different. I bought some plum wine as I have been missing some of the things I had in Japan. I know that the stuff you can buy here is not made in Japan but it does say "ume" (Japanese for plum) on it and has a vaguely Asian-style design. The background photo is of the Great wall of China and the 3 symbols on the left say "undead bird," with dead highlighted in red. This is no better than some of the beauties on show in Japan.
This didn't stop me from buying the wine though. In fact I probably bought it for comic value along with wanting something Japanique. To be perfectly honest my reaction was exactly like my reaction in Japan to Engrish things- laugh and take a photo.
