Going through past photos of Japan visits - here are just a few funny ones I found. Enjoy!
Found this sign at a Pachinko place Akihabara - Great babelfish translations!
Only One Earth - the Japanese on the right actually says Be gentle to Earth.
This sign I found in Miyajima makes absolutely no sense and I love it!
Same sign, close-up of the bottom...Japanese love racial stereotypes. Interesting - difference between Chinese and Korean are the jaw lines. I guess English people have really pointy noses, Americans need to shave, and East Indians dig bright yellow turbans.

Huh, Americans look like Jesus. Good to know.
