Only in Japan do people say things like, "San Jose? Hmm, isn't that near the Grand Canyon?"
Only in Japan do you see random people dancing in costumes and you don't know why.
Only in Japan do you hear this announcement at the train station: "Good afternoon customers. Because there was a suicide on the tracks today, the trains are extremely delayed. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Only in Japan do you walk into a room and hear someone exclaim, "Woah! She's not Japanese!"
Only in Japan do middle-aged men walk up to you and ask for your cell phone number so you can "teach them English." Riiiiight. English huh.
Only in Japan do you see a sign that says "Woody Happy" above a lumber yard.
And other Engrish:

It took me a week to realize I was in Japan, but you've already encountered a delay due to a suicide? Geez...
Video's awesome, though! :D
Thanks Candice. :)
Yeah, from talking to other exchange students it sounds like there have been several train suicides in the past few weeks. Pretty creepy.
Yikes! That is pretty creepy. Hopefully you won't have to be present when one's actually taking place.
Hopefully the rash of suicides don't have anything to do with The Wired and Protocol 7.
That Europe shirt is...well I want one.
My parents warned me of the Engrish in Japan. I think its awesome and endlessly hilarious. It reminds me of work ;)
