If you go to Ogori coffee shop in Tokyo when you pay you don’t receive what you have ordered, you receive what the client before you ordered and paid! Would you go to a coffee shop where you can’t have what you want but what other client that you don’t know at all ordered? What would you order knowing that what you are ordering is not going to be for you but for the next client?
I love the surprise factor of this coffee shop!

Lately I have been able to take quite a few new pictures of Japanglish (broken English usually seen in Japan). The Japanglish example on the first photo is a classic; in a lot of restaurants they misspell hamburger, most of the time as “hamburg” (probably because they confuse it with the German city), another way is “humburg” (in the picture) and then there are other misspelling like “humburger”, “hanberg”, “hanbur”, etc.
Other Japanglish posts:
There are already several books about Twitter available in Japanese bookstores. When something is a novelty in Japan a lot of books and magazines are published about the topic; same thing happened with the iPhone, and at that time there were books on sale even before the device was released to the market. Published books about a service or product are usually a sign that things are going well.
