Marvelous!

The touch of the legs is really nice even if they look like they don't have any bones in them.

Darcy म्हणाले...

I think it's a little creepy. Is the woman dead? What's going on in that gondola?

Fascinating, though.

Interesting that some of the matchboxes have horizontal text reading right to left, and others (like the one here), reading left to right. I guess the switch must have been occurring in that time frame.

"What's going on in that gondola?"

We say "gondora."

Japanese saying "pork barrel."

It eventually wears them down.

Sex. Booze. Food. Mountains. Sunsets. Tea rooms.

I thought this had been posted by James Rileks.

So, I guess that transliteration process actually includes the lack of "l"s in Japanese?


Gondora = Gondola

Gojira = Godzilla

Howl's (Moving Castle) = Hauru

Ah so, you are surprised I speak your language?
You see, I was educated in your country at, U.C.R.A.?

Coplas!

That's what I was wondering. Shouldn't there be crime scene tape around that gondora?

Darcy म्हणाले...

I'm glad someone else sees that, Eric! Or are you teasing? ;-)

Yep. You can see the syllables used here. No L's.
