Having just returned from a fantastic 10 day trip around southern japan (far away from nuclear reactors, earthquakes and tsunamis), and having enjoyed the surprising warmth and friendliness of a japanese nation in a state of shock, I figure it may be an opportunity time to honour (or lampoon) them with a japan avatar round.
So ... Japan ... nation of sushi, samurai, temples, islands, manga, and ... Sumo. And apparently, top Sumo wrestlers are born not bred ... |

These Japanese macaques have discovered how to keep out the cold in their perpetual hot springs. Quite clever, innit?!

Am I the only person on the planet who read/remembers the part of "Stranger In A Strange Land" where the characters discuss humor, and why things that are funny are so often actually tragic?
PC Disclaimer:
Of course I hope for the best possible outcome for the Japanese people.

Lala the King Penguin lives in Japan; here's a pic of him with his penguin backpack on the way to the fish market to collect some fish to take home to his human family.
Here's a two minute TV spot if you don't believe me.

Picking up where Bife left off with last week's avatar...
Nyotaimori is usually translated as "female body presentation". It literally refers to something more like "piling something on top". It's the practice of serving sashimi or sushi from the body of a woman, typically naked.
I expect that in the Situations Vacant columns the job is advertised as "ideal for a comely wench who enjoys lying motionless for up to three hours at around 5C to keep the food nicely chilled".
PS I just discovered that the Fourum doesn't cope well with Japanese script. You'll just have to make do with English. |

I think 'appetising' would be the wrong word. Marvellous ads. Interesting that the silly, screaming girl is non-Japanese. |
