More English than the English?
The list of those sports invented by the English but now dominated by other nations is a lengthy one...
...so writes Jack Crossley in an imitation English newspaper that lined the basket of fish & chips consumed by Hayley & myself in the English themed Hub Pub of Kawasaki & sundry other neighbourhoods in Japan. Extending this idea towards food, even though the Japanese take on fish & chips is way off the mark, it is healthier by far than what one receives in Blighty. Does this make it better in the long run? In terms of coronary crises, one could venture a hearty "certainly", but I think they`re missing the point somewhat...
...short entry this week for a couple of reasons...
1) We`re off to see England play...some other country...Ecuador?
2) I`ve spilled beer on my laptop rendering it immobile for the forseeable future. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed shortly...
Labels: culture (shock), food, I wasn't expecting that, Japan, oops

There's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip,
And in your case a lap-top and beer!!

I thought you used automatic translation software...
I don't know why but the precision of Eng-Jpn translation programs is generally so poor. Well, that's the reason why I can still live up on translation so it's a good news, though.
