One of the things I never get tired of here in Japan are the clothes. I love seeing people wear clothes with weird English on them. When I went to Sapporo the other day, at the train station, I saw this guy with a windbreaker jacket that had the letters "ASS" written in big bold yellow letters on the back. Then below that it said something like "Authentic California Clothing."

Yeah, in all my years in California, I don't think I've ever seen clothes by that make. It just made me think though, "Who designed that jacket?" Some Japanese guy who's never been to California? Or some Californian who wanted to play a joke on Japanese fashion knowing that people would wear that jacket in public in Japan?
