Lost in Translation...Shopping is a Best!

I've been in search of a couple of things I haven't been able to find at the BX...which I really don't mind too much, because it gives me an excuse to venture out in town to one of my favorite places to wander around with my mouth hanging open...



Jusco in American Village.



I don't know why I get such a kick out of looking around here...but I do. I really have to have some time to spend here, though...because I lose all track of it. Jusco is like a mix between a department store and a mall. Stores within stores...and an enormous grocery store thrown in for good measure. It's all a bit overwhelming for me...in a good way.


I saw this hanging in a window of one of the shops and was wondering what the Japanese writing said. Anyone know?



This brings me to one of my favorite things to shop for in Okinawa...or at least window shop...Engrish T-shirts. I can't get enough.



These were in the girls department. Click on it. Go ahead. I tend to steer clear of buying my daughter clothing with certain phrases...the least of these being "throbbing" and "pulsate" but they are still on the no-go list.



Didn't get this one...but it's cute.



Maybe the scale doesn't translate here, but this is in the baby section (note the onsies below). I SOOO missed out on an epic opportunity! If I had had a baby here, he would have been decked out in rasta-wear all the time. Some of you know I'm actually serious!



Dr. Strangelove, anyone? Or how about that glaring pomposity for toddlers? LOVING these!

What I forgot to do, was take pictures of the dozen Engrish shirts I purchased for the family. Our kids are SO going to be decked out for back to school!
