Happy, happy.
Japan is the second largest economy in the world (for now). In school students are required to study English for five or six years. People spend hundreds of dollars on electronic dictionaries. There are many private English schools in Japan. It is estimated that English is an annual $4 billion industry in Japan – not including private lessons. In Japan English is cool. The language shows up everywhere: store and product names, t-shirts, restaurants and music lyrics. Despite its popularity, its prevalence and the money spent, the second wealthiest country known for hardworking, diligent students, the Japanese are amazingly disappointing.
As seen on a menu at a one coin bar in shibuya:
“Omlet that sSpicy Cod roe entered”
Just like that. I couldn't get a good photo. I'll have to go back...
