What language is that?

There’s a real post about my training in the immediate future, I promise. In the meantime, here are a few pictures.

Just a second ago, I saw an ad on TV for Full House dubbed in Japanese. It was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. I didn’t think Full House could any get more ridiculous, but I never imagined Mary-Kate Olsen sitting at the kitchen table giving Joey the Japanese “Eeeeeeeeh?” I was rolling. 🙂

I forgot to mention it in my previous post, but the toilet room right across the hall from my bedroom has one of those crazy Japanese toilets that Shannon likes so much. In Japanese homes, they supply separate slippers for you to use in the toilet room (whose actual name I don’t recall). The slippers supplied for the ALS guest house were apparently either crafted by or for a “VIP FASHION CREATER” [sic].

I’ll talk about the five different refuse cans in the kitchen in my next post. Dustman is on the side of one of them, and in case you can’t read it, here’s what it says under his picture:

Dustman’s motto
1 recicle 2 ecology 3 smile.
Lets carry out
housekeeping smartly wisely

    Damn! I wish you could DVR some of that Japanese TV for me. I especially like the commercials. Are they just as weird as they always were? I juts remember watching hours of Japanese TV as a kid just to see the commercials. Better than the superbowl :-).

    Thank you for keeping me abreast of any and all toilet encounters. Man, do I miss those heaters. Does yours play music?

    I’m frankly a little disappointed the Dustman motto isn’t a haiku.

    when i am weathly
    i’ll buy a big submarine
    with hookers and blow

    Shannon- Yes, the commercials are still crazy. There’s one currently on the air for a stool softener for women that shows this small teddy bear looking thing massaging a woman’s belly while she sleeps, then shows him inside her colon, watering its contents. I’m still not sure whether to be disturbed or amused, but I’m leaning toward amused.

    Shannon- No, no music from the toilet. I have enough new jingles tumbling around in my head already, thank you very much.

    Barry and Brian-
    garbage in Japan
    takes more effort than it should
    almost figured out
