【011】Tsujido's Strange English [Todd's information]
In Japan, we can find English used in strange and surprising ways. "Japlish" is famous in the world for its uniqueness. Even here in a small beach resort town of Tsujido, we can find wonderful examples of "Japlish". Sometimes, I have no idea what it means. Maybe you can help me.
What does "Ants Hair and Resort" mean? Ants will give you a massage or carry you away to a resort?
How about Hair dressing saloon? Do you need some hair dressing for your salad, sir? And in California, saloon is a kind of cowboy bar, so I was surprised to see this.
Fizz x Clap. What's that??
Everyone knows about Bon Odori in
Japan, when communities come together in the steaming hot
midsummer to dance around a stage on which large
"taiko" drums pound out the catchy rhythms,
but Tsujido Coast Park Summer Bon-odori
Festival is a new festival,starting last year,
and we enjoyed it for the first time.
I ate traditional Japanese food,including BBQ corn,
beer, even pizza hut pizza!). Then after it was all over the
staff allowed me to get on the stage and strut my stuff on
the drums. I was a natural, as you can see.
