While in Tokyo, we met this Japanese guy on the street (a stranger) who showed us to the nearest doctor (don’t start me on how impossible such a simple task could be in Japan) and sat with us to translate. We didn’t expect him to stay, he just considered it his community duty and he happened to be a nice guy. To everything we said, in Japanese or English, he’d whip out an “Oh, my gaaaaaaaaaad” in this weird exaggerated American accent.
Yesterday, as I was cruising Brunswick Street with my camera, I walked down towards Gertrude Street (the dodgy end, opposite the commission housing) and happened across “Korea KimChi”, a Korean grocer/supermarket. My first thought was “KIM CHIIIIIIII!!!!!!” As I walked in, my response was “Oh my gaaaaaaaaaad”. Not only was there normal kim chi, but every kind of kim chi imaginable and about 40% of the store was full of Japanese goods. They even had that Morinaga hotcakes mix we used to get from Tanekin.
Jeeezuz - I picked up some Japanese soy, tonkatsu sauce, chilli oil, japanese curry mix and god help me, japanese gyoza, all stuff I’d been madly craving. They had korean gyoza too which I’m gonna go back and buy today. Talk about a trip down natsukashii lane.
The gyoza and rice last night wreaked havoc on my constitution (having been on a “detox diet” this past week (pah!)), but not as much as contemplating the image of this fellow…

some mornings I just feel like fart-arsing around on photoshop (and doing a reasonably crap job of it…).
