You Drive Me Crazy
Hi all! Sorry for the delay again...geez I'm getting bad. And I know there's been some scrambling to get a brand new top 50 for the music hits, so you might see some changes there as well!
Well this time I bring you an interesting top 5. The top 5 ways to drive yourself crazy in Japan. Or at least annoy yourself to pieces.
1. Eavesdrop on a Japanese couple's conversation. It may sound a little something like this:
Him: It's hot today, isn't it?
Her: Yes it is, isn't it. I heard it's going to be above 30 degrees again tomorrow.
Him: Really? I heard it was going to rain tomorrow evening.
Her: Oh that's awful! I better make sure I remember to take an umbrella.
Him: Yes, please do.
2. Contact an "English" customer support centre for the company of your choice. You'll soon realize the English you know and love, and the Japanese English they speak are two immaculately different languages.
3. Try to find food in Japan that doesn't contain the 4 staples; curry (the cheap from a box stuff), wasabi, mayonnaise and/or red bean.
4. Ask to take a doggy bag at a restaurant. Be prepared for strange looks and a long wait as your waiter hmms and haws about what to do.
5. And last but not least, stand by and watch the older folks run, push and beat others (including small children) out of their way just to claim a seat on the train or the bus. I've only started noticing the large level in which this happens lately.
I could probably make a much larger list, but I'll leave it a lonsome 5. Stay tuned guys! There'll be tons more updates to come soon. Sorry for the lag lately. Blame it on the hotter than hot weather and the busyness of the season.
