Detta är en otroligt hysteriskt, underbart rolig hemsida som en ung man håller uppe. Det handlar om hans upplevelser i det smått mystiska landet Japan där han jobbar som en engelsklärare. Jag har suttit nu i några minuter och dör av skratt, så pass jag nu gnuggar magen och torkar bort tårarna från ansiktet. För att få en liten inblick i hur roligt det faktiskt är så tänker jag sätta in en liten snutt från sidan.
”But considering I get American condoms sent from home by Mom, I guess the reverse is possible for Japanese guys. ”What is this, a condom or a trash bag? Is this for horses? I need a better fitting condom.” And thanks to our site, Mr. Tanaka doesn’t have to make any embarrassing phone calls to Mom.
So there I am at my desk, with a catalog spread open to the condom page. This 50-year old Japanese lady walks by my desk, and casually asks what I’m doing. I say ”Oh, just translating,” but given how she’s Japanese, she’s almost obligated to look over my shoulder. Seriously, being Japanese means a lot of bowing, apologizing, and looking over people’s shoulders apparently. She does just that, and sees my catalog open to the condom page. Now, of all the things she could have possibly said here, what she did say was the one thing I couldn’t have possibly expected–”ah, hisashiburi.”
”Hisashiburi” is Japanese for ”it’s been a long time.”
