Nobody expects あじの開き to be from FRANCE!!!!!
At my local supermarket!! (@_@)
Quirky globalisation!!!

I didn't buy it because I'm half-vegetarian. (I eat fish at restaurants but not so at home.) Now I'm thinking I should have bought this. Really.

近所のスーパーに行ったら、「あじの開き」が「フランス産」でびっくりした。店内が大変混雑していたので、全体をフレームに収めることができなかったのだけど、普通のあじの開きでした。(私は動物系はほとんど口にしないので買いませんでした。買ってみればよかったのかな。)

"Delete all" Levi's advert - summer 2006


"Delete all" Levi's advert - summer 2006
Originally uploaded by nofrills.

An impressive Levi's advert in the summer 2006. Found in my old memory card. The other side of the poster is here.

This "Dos and Don'ts" list is too familiar for us girls/woman in Japan, especially the "Wear a tight skirt to your job interview" line (in Jp, 面接にはタイトスカートで行きなさい).

Yes, this is my sort of Only in Japan pic; Westerners will find this quirky (only with translation, so I put a rough translation as notes). Girls - around the world, actually - may find this ironic and somewhat funny.

THE Brasseirie Brillante? Pourquoi? Ce n'est pas "La Brasserie Brillante"?

a fine example of language mix-up Japonais(e)?
