Oki Living: Engrish Clothing

It's already been 6 months since arriving on island and we've been doing a horrible job showing you more about living here in Okinawa. Understandably Leyna steals the show, but we'll start sharing some various highlights of island life here n there...the many differences, the pros, the cons, random funny things we come across...

Here's to start with We Shop...Jusco is our primary mall here, so you'll find a few are scattered across the small island. It's very minimal compared to the states. Typically there's just one department store (with a grocery store on first floor), electronics store, bookstore, a food court, arcade, and less than 10 other specialty shops. We always check out the kid sections and we are truly entertained by the "Engrish" phrases on the clothes. Of course we see these spelling and grammar errors wherever we go, but here's a few your child can fashion! haha.

Some not as bad...
...can be cute...
...but others definitely needed an English translator before mass production!
One plus about the stores out here, is they conveniently provide mini stroller shopping carts with adjustable and reclining seats for kids. We finally decided to test them out since Leyna (still) gets fussy being couped up in her car seat.
..and looks like we have a winner! She must love the ample space. Danno loved "drifting" her around every corner since the wheels maneuver so freely...and meanwhile Leyna kept sleeping peacefully.
