Japan has four seasons
Why do Japanese people keep telling me this?
The current season is winter with cherry blossom. Sunday was spring - and I got very excited - but then we had two days of heavy rain and strong wind. It's nice again now - but I'm not holding my breath that I'll be back in flip-flops any time soon, which is sad as the very strange tan marks I have on my feet from Cambodia are starting to fade. I rather enjoyed having stripey feet.

Jingles. My local supermarket plays a jingle which can best be translated as: 'fish-fish-fish-fish-fish-fish-fish-fish-fish fish-fish-fish-fish-fish-fish-fishfish' [and repeat].
In 99-yen shops the jingle running is '99-yen, 99-yen, 99-yen, 99-yen'.
Of course, the worst thing is when you spend the next hour after each visit singing the bloody jingles.
And people get paid for writing these? I'm in the wrong job!
Do you have any more mindblowing jingles from local stores?
