So I titled this blog Moon Rabbit on rather a whim...
It was the name of a "Love Hotel" I used to drive by regularly outside Niigata city in Japan- "Moon Rabbit". It was things like that in Japan that always used to make me smile. I also remember a service station with the name "Hello Square" like a bizarre yet joyful exclamation at the drivers arriving. In that same service station the bins for sanitary items in the ladies bathroom had written on the "Charm Box".... not exactly.... but again it made me smile.
This has got to be one of my favourites though
I went past this sign many times snowboarding thinking it was just another bizarre sign.
Say "ABBA lunch control" as fast as you can (directly translated from Japanese katakana it is abaranchi not abba lunch)
When saying an English word in Japanese B is used in place of V and R in place of L, so try avalanchi....
As you can see the sign is trying to say something quite important but it's either a joke or the translater/proof reader was relying on bad electronic translation tools!
My Japanese signs were to provide fodder for my creative pursuits later down the line.
