Silly Funny Happy Fun Land.

So anyone who's lived in a foreign country knows about the silly funny happy fun things you come across here's a few:

One of the main sources of this funtime are locals who don't get a lot of opportunities to encounter foreigners, so when the time comes they get excited and say every English word/phrase they know... for example...
Today three construction workers 75ft up a rickety scaffolding (without ropes, harnesses or any safety devices) stopped everything to shout "HELLO, HOW ARE YOU?! I LOVE YOU!" all this of course while waving and blowing kisses.


I've seen more Buddhist monks/nuns here than anywhere else I've been. They're all over town; on the metro, driving cars, window shopping at the Mitsukoshi Luxury Mall. My favorite nun-experience though was in my favorite neighborhood vegetarian restaurant... I found myself sitting behind a table of nuns... and then it happened... along came the loudest nun-fart i'd ever heard. Now i know this is the only nun-fart i've ever heard but i'm confident nothing will ever top it.

oh and i came across this billboard paid for the Taiwanese Army's Recruiting Center... I think it explains itself:


good times in fun fun happy sunshine toyland.

Was this nun an older gal? This happened to me in Tokyo as well:
