Posted in: English in public places in Japan See in context
The problem that English has it that it is spoken in so many countries with so many influences that the regional variances can often be confusing to even to the native speakers. An example is that 20 years ago when I first arrived in Japan I was invited to a beach party. I said great I can wear my thongs! The guy looked at me weirdly and asked if I was gay. I had to explain to him that in Australia the B-sands/Sandles/Flip flops/Slippers (Singapore) we wear on our feet are called Thongs.
