It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “look at the funny stuff I’m seeing” post, and yes, this one includes a funny anglicization or two. I’ve loved my time in Tokyo. I’ve been fortunate enough to stay with a generous host and her adorable child, and I’ve had great weather that makes every park, shrine, and neon-lit street a pleasure to explore. Also, I keep coming across the funny, wacky sights that every big city offers up. On Wednesday, I leave Tokyo for London–what weird and wonderful things will I see there?
That’s “Dragon Tacos” to you
This guy took all the symbols and letters that mean “internet” and decided that they needed to go on his car.
Rude!
Hipster distilled to a t-shirt
It’s a bakery, but really what they’re selling is the smell
Harajuku fashion shoot
Strolling with a rabbit, like ya do
Tea time with Darth & Leia on the subway

“…like ya do”. I LOVE that!
Thanks!
Asia is general is weird for Westerners, which is why it’s such a trip to hang out there. I did all the same kinds of things in Seoul — I had a pencil and jotted down the odd things in Konglish that I read on people’s t-shirts. This blog is beyond cool. Godspeed, Lisa! Keep ’em coming!
Thanks, Rob! Glad you’re enjoying it adn getting a chance to re-live some of your own fun travels.
Hmm, I think I actually might prefer a drug-on taco to the dragon variety. 🙂
And the bunny boy reminds me of the guy in NYC who walks around with a cat on his head!
I want to see that guy! Preferably while eating a drug-on taco.
Well, until your next trip to the Big Apple, this should tide you over:
I saw a man with a cat on his head in NYC! I don’t recognize him (this was years ago) but I doubt there are many.
This reminds me of the boy in Chicago who was walking around with a rat on his shoulder and offered it to me for $5.
I… How do I not know that story?
