What is It?

I've only walked past this place when it was closed, but I am intrigued. Is it a Bar or a Hair Salon?

Enticing Advertisement

This is just one of the ridiculous statements printed on the windows of the Pachinko parlor down the road from my apartment.

Apartment Complex Names

Many of the apartment buildings in my neighborhood are named in English. Many of them could stand to be edited.

Bowling Second Time Around

On the night before Rebecca left she had the brilliant idea to go bowling. M&L were in so the four of us headed to Hoshigaoka Bowl.

I bowled my first turkey and Rebecca captured my excitement.

Automated Call Center

A few days ago I wanted to make some adjustments to my cellular phone plan, lucky for me my carrier, SoftBank, has an English Customer Service number. What surprised me was that the number was completely automated and used the same female voice that I'd hear if I reached a similar Service Center at home. The amusing thing was that this automated representative didn't speak correct English, of course her pronunciation was perfect, but the grammar was not. She just kept telling me that she was "sorry for your waiting."
