Please understand the Japanese, even if you don’t speak it. Thank you.
Sorry I do not understand it, so I have zero desire.
Baby, I only have one desire: to rent you a sound guide device.
My guide device (GPS) is very sound (noisy)
My desire is to rent a sound blocking device to block out the Engrish.
Any of the natives can understand English, provided it’s shouted loudly enough. (Colonel Blimp)
I’m glad they stopped using the unsound guide device!
When I did a golfing tour in Japan, the guide kept shouting out a Japanese word, Which I did not understand. Later that night, the lady I was entertaining, kept yelling the same word.
Next day I asked what the word meant.
It appears it was Japanese for “wrong hole”.
One Desire still does rental and will love you long time.
“Receptionist person”!
Aww. I was hoping for a robot.
How do you keep the receptionist from charging at the counter? Take away the credit cards.
It may be a sign of the times, but Smithy’s “Old Bus” (Fokker Tri-motor) at Eagle Farm Airport in Brissie. Where it is on display in a glass building.
Anyway. Press one button and the commentary is in English.
Press the other button, and the commentary is in Japanese.
On the last Naha sight seeing ride I saw more bus commuters than I ever wanted to see.
Press both buttons simultaneously, and a large red devil appears and keeps prodding you in the arse with a red-hot pitchfork.
I’m worried about the fee
Toobmuch information
Actually, instead of the “receptionist person”, I was hoping for a computerised girlie doll, with fully charged batteries.
Does each course have “only a Japanese speaking guide”.
Or;
“A Japanese only speaking guide”?
“is this the commuter bus?”
“naha”
– Can’t you understand Japanese?
– Yes! I can’t!
Examples:
– Japanese speaking guide: ‘englishenglishenglishenglish … ‘
– Soung guide device: ‘englishenglishenglishenglish … ‘*
*after charge!
Probably meant ‘computer sight seeing ride’…
“Go forward.”
“You can’t go forward, you’re in a parking lot.”
…the time just flies by.
“The one desire still does rental.”
In my country, we have specialists for that.
So my options are option A: learn Japanese or option B: pay Y1000 which is less than $9.
I’ll go with options B.
Each one of us speak only English.
Please understand it.
