Fun with Japan

Why is my chicken ramen flavoured with curry? And for that matter, why is the pork ramen flavoured like barbecue? Or is the real question why can't I find the Japanese brands I'm used to? *pout* Oh, Ichiban, wherefore art thou?

In other news, I was extremely amused today when a woman knocked on my door. She looked disconcerted and asked if I spoke any Japanese (in Japanese). I told her a little, and she handed me a familar looking booklet (ie a Mormon evangelising thingy) and went on her way. I closed the door and started laughing upon realizing that the Mormon's could visit all they like since I wouldn't be able to understand a word they said *L*

This is almost as amusing as how confused my boss was when I answered my phone with "moshi moshi" this morning. She sounded rather disconcerted when she said I sounded Japanese *L*
