Reading Japanese T-Shirts
Friday 18th July
While in Japan, I found that being able to read Katakana was one of the most useful skills I took along with me.
You’d go into 7-Eleven, peruse the sandwich/pastry counter and be met with things like:
ブルーベリー＆チーズクワソン
or
ツナ、コーン、メイヨ
Which, if transliterated to Roman characters would become:
burūberī & chīzu kuwason - blueberry & cheese croissant.
and
tsuna, kōn, meio - tuna, corn, mayo
So… can you see what’s coming? Yes, I shall complete the series on How to Read Japanese T-Shirts. It’s probably worth popping back there for a bit of revision, and I’ll shortly pick up where we left off.
Then you’ll be able to read stuff in lots of the photos I took (for example, the Lady’s Plate).
Apologies for taking so long to get back round to this… I was just a little busy in November ‘06.

Some people seem to be on fire, so I’ll throw in one more character, one bit of punctuation and possibly the most important word you will ever learn in Japanese.

First off… can I ask if anyone is finding this interesting/useful? Or are you all ignoring it? I get the hint that some are following what’s here, but if no-one’s interested, it’s not worth my time… leave a note in the comments!
