Just for laughs: イリグチ
by becki_kanou » Tue 09.02.2008 10:01 pm
I saw this sign at the Anchorage airport food counter and did a double-take. I wonder what process they went through to come up with that? The language choice seems rather random too; Japanese, Korean and then German? The world may never know.
Anyway I got a kick out of it, so I thought I'd share it with everyone here too.

Anchorage Alaska?
Don't complain to me that people kick you when you're down. It's your own fault for lying there

Yup!
I went from Kankuu to Taipei to Alaska to JFK. I booked the tickets too late so I couldn't get a ticket that was both cheap and direct.

Sounds as if you did the mail run.
Looking at the airlines that fly out of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport they include JAL (Fukuoka, Nagoya-Centrair, Osaka-Kansai, Tokyo-Narita) , Korean Air (Seoul-Incheon) and Condor Airlines (Frankfurt) so the language choice is probably not that strange.

My guess is that whoever made the sign doesn't actually speak Japanese.
