Engrish Tuesday

Love Drug Store

While we were in Osaka for the Beer Festival (Aaron will tell you more about that soon) we spent a second day walking and sightseeing around the town. One stop was Amerika-mura (American Village). I thought it was pretty funny to see what the Japanese thought America was like. There was a lot of nonsensical English (which means a lot of fun new Engrish for you), there was a lot of marijuana paraphernalia (t-shirts and pencil cases all emblazoned with the leaf) and a lot of fun people watching. Ultimately it was not at all like America, but it was a lot of fun.

BTW…in case you can’t read the picture above. It says “Love Drug Store” on the top of the sign.
