  • Honest gratitude

    Honest gratitude I cannot ski, I cannot dig the earth,

    My hands, legs do not work

    But thank you God

    with just a simple 10 gram brush you gave me

    I can make flowers bloom

    Make snow fall

     

    Thank you God.

     

  • Impolite Japanese

    Got a warning ticket yesterday for parking in a “handicap” zone. (Well, it is convenient to park there, I admit). But look at the ticket content, you’ll be shocked !

    Handicap Parking Ticket

    Here’s how it translates (tried my best, since this is native Japanese and had to look up the dictionary many times)
    This parking place is for [physically handicapped], not [mentally handicapped] person like you. Can make out from a car like yours, a person like you won’t understand. You really think your car is too cool? Aren’t you ashamed to act like a complete idiot? Did you ever see your ugly face in the mirror? Pity you do not understand, thus I noted your car number, model and informed to the nearest police station. Don’t ever park in parking reserved for handicap again !

    Pretty rude and forthcoming for a Japanese, don’t you think?

    I wonder why didn’t this person put his number or contact in case I wish to “consult” to remedy my pitiful situation. No Pity
