Today we went on a little hike to the ruins of Tsuwano castle. On the way, Lee saw this sign and interpreted as follows:

1. Scrape the bottom of your shoe

2. Place scraped matter in your hand

3. And smoke it?

He only glanced at it, but it really was his first impression.

It's actually about cigarettes.

Please tell me there are other non-japanese speakers out there who are confounded by that sign? I could do a whole blog on stuff like this in Japan.

I'm going to add this badboy to the hall.

Please do, Darren! We'd be honored...
