it`s nice they tranlated those signs in english. i`ve seen some attention signs written in chinese but the only words in english were: “This is for foreign tourists”.

Thanks for your kind words. It is always funny to go someplace you’ve never been (and this happens to everyone I think) and be amazed or confused by something everyone from there doesn’t even notice.

I used to have one of those Expats from the US in my previous workplace. He came from the US and he wondered about so many things aloud and I chuckled with him because whatever he wonders did not seem so strange to his Japanese peers. I somehow had to translate whatever he wondered about to his Japanese colleagues and that was a tough work, because I somehow had to relay the inquisitiveness of the man to his friends without getting too inquisitive.
I see great work in your blogposts and enjoy your site. Please continue the great work! I definitely would like to be enlisted for the reader. Thanks!
