New BUBE
Toilet Goods

Say that again. Outloud. That's what I thought you said you pervert.

Abrir
(Found on Abrir brand pan)

"The smell of toast and the sweet aromd of cafe au lait fill the room."

"Dishes with vegrtbles and eggs are on the table."

I typed this exactly how it was written. Can we say "spell check?"

Nescafe
( Found on Nescafe coffee vending machine)

The principal component of coffee is caffeine which refreshes the mind of people and makes the characteristic bitter taste. The coffee tasts also abundant by the grace of fat and sugar. When you have some coffee, you feel a little sweet taste on the tongue after bitterness, sourness and astringency. The sweet taste comes becuase of sugar included with tannin. The coffee is a drink mixed whese elements well-balanced by the nature. This effect of coffee gives comfort and tranquility to the people who drink it.

What can I say, it provided me with information that I was not aware of. However, I do not feel that my life was improved any by reading this.

Basic
(Found on a Basic brand trash can)

"Basic, for a bland new day"

At least we know what kind of life to look forward to in Japan.

Good Bread
(Package of a six slice loaf of bread)

"mild taste, natural flavor..."

I just like the brand name. It takes the guess work out of trying to buy good products. But I don't find anything natural about Japanese bread that is always white, never wheat!

Happy days of young sheep
(Found written on a notebook cover)

"I'm a sheep, young handsome sheep. My parents, sisters, brothers, and my girlfriends are near here. Because we are the No1 big family in a world. They say every sheep looks like me very much. But look at them carefully. Their faces are a little bit difference. So I'm a lonseome sheep. Very lonesome. Would you date with me?"

So sad =( this kind of loneliness should not happen to a sheep, especially a handsome sheep =(
