know that you have not write much, but I'm preparing a lot of things, and besides, I'm studying a lot (in fact, I'm starting to be able to say things to "the premises").
Today marks my first month since I arrived at my new home called Tenri. In honor of my birthday, I want to see the strange things that have these people, they are ...
SIGNS!
And no, I mean the traffic as these belong to a code adapted internationally. No, I mean putting to death (although some do not know if they are for cars or pedestrians, but in a few months I hope to answer this question.) Which by the way, do not think that signal point, no. There must be a company that is dedicated to them in series, because I have seen all over the Kansai region.
The case is ... well, those who know something of the Japanese people, it is no secret that they are ... infantilones nature. There is nothing wrong, sometimes I think Europeans have a sense of the ridiculous little a little too excited (especially English). But there are certain issues like today (SIGNS), which ... Man, I do not think it is to make it as childish; But for us into your head, think they are focused on the child population (ie, the average Japanese.) And if not ... as I refer to examples:
This was the first sign that caught my attention on these lands. Was in front of one of those ponds you do not know if used to store water, raise fish, to decorate, or to breed mosquitoes.
superdescriptiva signal says in perfect Japanese, "Abunai!", They said into something understandable, is careful, danger, eye, and everything seems. The peasant of the picture is screaming "help me!". Honestly, I was very worried to see the signal because I realized that if I fell into the pool, would not be able or ask for help, so I took the photo immediately to try to memorize what they put the little sign. By the way, I almost fell in the pond due to memorize it and not look down. But that's another story. Adeem, then I found this other signal, y. .. Well, guess that says the same thing, because it if was on a farm.
Bulldog And I, why is it that the gilipoyas that falls to the pond always has a cap on your head? Dude, take it off and you can see the road better.
Our next signal is also descriptive. Come do not throw cans and cigarette butts because they are not biodegradable waste (known worldwide under the name "Pick up your shit, bitch!"). Man, I tell tell you something else, but only managed to read three of the six simbolitos poster. With regard to biodegradable waste, for a day I have to put up a post about recycling system from Japan, because it's fireworks. In order to see if I get used, because it is costing me an egg.
Another more descriptive model say the same, is as follows:
Which makes it much more complicated thing, because it means you have several different signals to indicate the same. The fact that I much like the second signal, but would start the first, to help you remember people collecting colillitas too. respect to this new signal that I found, I think that needs no explanation.
That if, what amuses me is that the dog is blushing because he "screwed up." Has anyone seen a dog ever blush? And even more so after a bowel movement? (By the way, the sign I found in a field of flowers was planted enterito. Very nice, yes sir) poor creature, who looks like she is at fault, when the face of that had to blush was the owner . Of course, this causes stress upon one of the things that most Japanese fear is public humiliation. So, I like much more, the next signal, in which no one blushes.
The happy dog \u200b\u200bdoes not forget to collect her things. It's crappy that this signal is also found in a playground.
More of the same, only now the puppy is happy friends to the birds. Not if you have just realized that THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT SIGNALS FOR THE SAME!! What will make a poster for each breed of dog? Does it mean that only the cocker may not collect the waste they generate? Is it generic? Are there more different signals?
This, from what little I can read, I think that puts you to watch your pet, not to bother. Another sign that I hope to translate shortly. The next set of signals, it is what we ehe said, not who they are intended, whether to raise the driver, children playing in the street or both.
"Tobidashi" which should be "Slow down!" Tobidasu because the verb means "to fly / run away." I saw this sign in red, orange, green and yellow.
This is the same, but with a truck., and I've seen in blue.
This I think says the same thing. It is located about 100 meters from my house. respect to this sign ... Well
is tucked into the "Tenri Hondori", a pedestrian shopping street. Actually I suspect it is for bicycles to discover that pedestrians also counts. Now, what I put it under ... since neither pope. This new sign, because ....
clarita okay. "Dude do not light a fire to light a cigarette." If you have not set out in detail, click with the mouse over the photo, yes, they're smoking. But remember that safety First: "If you light a fire to light a cigarette, do not forget to wear your helmet."
god, someone translate for me the signal!
And of course, tell me, man, but we're getting signs made up. Oh yeah? it takes this:
Vale, this is the typical sign of trespassing at the site (and especially without a helmet, that we need even to make fire). But the signal if it is so internationally known .... What milk means you have written in pen under clarification? Really disturbing. respect to the next sign ... I wish there were signs of this kind in Spain. This one is clearly a focused signal to the children. It was located on the ground on both sides of all walkways surrounding a park in my city-village, and was made of a material superrefractante gold on the floor (c'mon, it shines a lot day and night refracted lot).
The sign says: "take", meaning "to dry." The giant panda is a boy (it seems like they should illustrate to young children with panda bears, it is not the first time I see this here, could it be that Japanese cartoon series TaoTao name?), Which says ... "look left" (Hidari mite), "looks right" (Migui mite). Truly a bravo to the council for this achievement as well.
but if you think that the spirit of this town just poneseñales here ... because I'm afraid not. The other day biking, as derrepende saw this sign:
And I said, then, that grace, nice way to announce to the police (I think). And I kept riding my bike when I derrepente:
send "? What this is? As I approached, and in passing asked colleagues who that was. And the result was:
JOIN THE ARMED FORCES PROFESSIONAL! Yeah, I used to watch videos on TV of some guys doing things like in the movies of Vietnam, and look, unlike those with little drawings in pastel colors. This really is a cultural contrast.
In short, more or less this is over ... Right? because that I thought, but the other day, in the halt of a season, because I found of course, all full of little signs. Look at the picture carefully, it is more, do click on the picture to come out big. Do you see what I mean by this is a country of contrasts?
For ye are not Upper track ... look at the sign up in the left column gets what? INDEED! NO SMOKING! And what is it that puts up big? INDEED! SMOKING AREA! summarizing ... Can we or can not smoke? is not this a land of contrasts?
If we add that it is a way station, and all you have is a bank ATECH (which is precisely the picture ..), if the smoke rises (because in this area has no air currents almost ..) Who would you smoke can bother or not? And I say that I'm not smoking.
Anyway, as I will be telling more stories of those who rarely go unnoticed if it turns out that a foreigner comes to stop putting everything up.
Take care much.
