Really, this isn’t the exit?
The English is very clear:
“The exit is not put here.”
This sign was placed near an opening to the gondola loading / unloading area at the Naeba ski area during the Fuji Rock Festival. OK, this sign must tell us that this is not the place for the exit.
Except, the Japanese reads:
“Exit. Do not enter from here.”
So I think the translation was supposed to be
“The entrance is not put here.”
Oh well.
I think I was originally drawn to this because the writing was funny anyway. But when I read the Japanese, it was even funnier.
This is my living-in-Japan-as-an-expat blog. No, I am not a teacher over here. I am working with a Japanese company on a big project. That's enough said. Why the blog? Simply it is to capture my life and observations for friends and family so the separation doesn't seem so great. And if others enjoy it, all the better.
