Ocean11 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 To celebrate the birthday of Christ, his mother has been telling our little boy a series of outrageous lies that have left him thoroughly confused. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I got nothing either. Something may arrive in the post from home but Im not expecting it until AFTER christmas which kind of defeats the purpose ... anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
minus 1 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Christmas cake after the 25th kinda lies? Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Bobby, you heading down the izakaya for xmas dinner or what? It seems the Japanese love to head to French or Italian restaurants for some reason. That is "Christmas" to them! Christmas cakes are different as well. I am not that much of a fan of the traditional Chrissy cake even at home so I dont really care ... But, what is the same about Christmas in this country? Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 A ring! Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 An expensive ring akibun? Just a wild guess but would you have got that ring from your boyfriend? I hear that in Japan girls ask their boyfriends for specific presents and get a case of the shits if they dont get what they asked for, usually a very expensive gift. Is this true and if so why do girls want to know what their present is?! Isnt that part of the fun of receiving a present ... that you dont know what it is?! Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Some dvds. I was hoping for that big nerdy Alien box thing, but no it didn't come. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Top clock you have there Scouser. Never seen one of those before ... they would be pricey though, right?! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 That clock clocks in at 15000 yen. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 15000 clocks? wow... does it do anything else except look cool? It does look cool though that is for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 It looks cool - and eminently fail unsafe. I reckon it'll be bust before next Christmas. I also got loads of crimbo cards. What a pointless gesture they are! I'd rather get an email with some news and a photo. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Whats a crimbo card Ocean? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Christmas cards! All that effort to say nothing! Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 So ocean, I guess you dont engage in the japanese custom of 年賀状 then?! Christmas cards can be a nice touch if they say something other than "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year... from so and so". Dont you think? Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Whats up with Japanese and K.F.C.??? There were about 50+ Japanese waiting to get some of that finger lickin good chicken That, and there were 3 cops trying to direct traffic just so people could get past. I wonder what the other 3,448 KFCs in Japan were like... Link to post Share on other sites
