Of course, usually I would write about my life. However, something came to my attention that was far more interesting regarding Japan. As I was reading the news, I discovered a strange article that really brightened my day. In other words, I laughed really hard! Recently, in Osaka, a department store had an end of year sale. That would be fine and completely ordinary except that the sale was advertised by using the F word on all of their signs in English! So many people saw the signs on the internet that the store was very embarrassed, issued an official apology, and changed the signs. Apparently, a shortened version of “fukubukuro,” or “lucky bags,” which are end of year sales grab bags, can be spelled, well, the same as the F word. I feel badly that the store thought people around the world were offended. Actually, it was quite humorous. I hope that the store sells everything

Interesting article
