Amusing English in Japan

This post will be updated regularly/when I can get time to put more photos on.  Despite children learning English from a very young age, pronunciation can be atrocious (katakana English - bless) and speaking and aural comprehension is pretty low due to the majority of schools focussing on written stuff.  The English proficiency exams are also full of really unnecessary language.  But as my mother always says, "What to do..."

	Tom: "Where'd you get that book Jane?" Jane: "Book Off." Tom: "There's no need to be so rude! All I'm asking is where you got it from." Jane: "I already told you, Book OFF."
	Bear is between the two flowers.  Yes.  Yes it is.
	This is what we receive on entry to Japan.  If we're going to be in Japan for more than 90 days, we need to carry around our Alien Registration Card - I bags the antennae and the telekinetic powers!!
	Hair product for the geraid-atric?
	My host nephew Shoma's toy called Cranky.  I think that's its actual name, not an English boo-boo.  It's from the Thomas the Tank Engine franchise.  In the background is Shoma.  The crane's name is apt for some of Shoma's moods!
	Taken outside of Himeji castle: Keep Clean Environment with taking to Everyone's heart.
	Uuderground Entrance??  Vill I need my lederhosen?
	Our "shilky touch" moistened napkins at "soba tatsu" restaurant in Shojaku.
	"Manufactured this notebook, using carefully selected writing paper which is suitable for writing in pen as well as pencil." - NEATO!
	"have a power to make all girls happy. 100% pin-prick design" - Go the pin-prick English!
	"The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries." - Well, at least it makes sense.
	"When I changed concept, I could see genuine articles. A reliable brand selected by those with good taste." - Yes.
	"Now the fabulous goods is styled for the fashion of it. Take a pair to the streets." - Taken surreptiously while sitting on the train.
