Catching up with Engrish

Hello from the Be Rich Food Agency. I've been blogtardy due to catwalking!

Let's make up for it with some Engrish! Is the Toothless monster Engrish? Who knows!

Optional Restaurat is only open on choosedays.

There, you can eat garlic nine belly fish!

After that, you may need a nap, but you should be honest about that.

I was a foreigner, so I had to use the phoney line.

Luckily, I was not one of the heavyweight speakers!

Gift bags are consistently one of the best sources of Engrish. This one says: Eat delicious sweets and spend pleasant time. The time well carry a happy.

They're often oddly specific and kinda intense.

When you're happy, dress up pretty like and go to town!

If they try to convince you with a plastic gift bag, maybe do not stay.

Stalker gift bag with both Engrish and Flench.

More bilingual here. My favourite is I want to see your joyfulness, spend time courteously.

here is an unexpected find, about a Shima Enaga, which is the super cute long-tailed bushtit, that I now want to see! 

I bought these socks to get the fabulous along with the same old.

Sake is often a winner, but it's rarely lemon.

Be careful not to overdo it with chocolate mint ice cream.

Finally, this shirt says: Dold fast to dreams for whn dreams go lifeis a barrenf ield frozen onlywith snow. Dold fast to dreams for if oreams die life is a broken-winged biro than can never fly. Turns out this is a mashup of a Langston Hughes poem.

Dorking, Hams and Mermen

In Canada, we have some fun town names.

Lucknow Ontario looks different to the one in Uttar Pradesh, India.

These towns have the right kind of syrup.

I ended up at Lake Huron, where I saw Paula and we were photogenic.

I had lots of great food and wine, but all I got was a picture of grape vines.

And the world's best corn chips, which are thin, warm, and not really that photogenic.

Speaking of photogenic, I also went to Spain to have vermouth and tapas with Kevin & Andrew.

This time, I did a better job of foodtography.

The specialty is the garlic shrimps.

I chronicalled their life in Spain. They measured luggage.

Took mugshots,

And consulted maps while in the train station.

We went shopping for interesting things like mermen.

And of course hams.

I hung out with this fat cat in the rain.

And wondered about these sketchy characters portrayed in stained glass.

Jeju: Island of Hanyeo and Hareubang

In Jeju, an island in the South of S.Korea, the rocks are volcanic, and the abalone and other seafood used to be caught by the free diving Haenyeo women, seen here in sculpture form. The dolphins, in the distance, also say hi.

My friend Kevin is living in Jeju, and here is what we look like through the igneous rock.

The island is protected by many of these little guys, called dol hareubang.

Pretty lava flows.

These are lava people, and they wish to greet you.

It was time to harvest the (small amounts of?) sesame.

And seafood of course.

Hiking in the sharp rocks caused a wardrobe malfunction! (Those are not my legs; Kevin is more fit).

Anyway, time for some steamed fish stew!

And Jeju tangerines which are extra delicious.

Of course, we can't have a Korea trip without some fashion.

Butter, Whith the Verblee, and Dotureboy Backer.

I got a great selfie with this guy and his deathly complexion.

Maybe it's from too much composing.

Also, I've finally learnt how to take selfies.
