I just submitted a reservation for a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in Asakusa, Tokyo. Turns out there’s a festival going on while we’ll be in Japan! How cool. However, it makes our goal of staying in a ryokan a little more challenging, as the good ones in Tokyo all appear to be in Asakusa, and they’re probably all booked because of the HUGE festival.
Anyway, I just got the greatest confirmation message ever:
Thank you for an application.
I do the telephone of affirmation by return.
In addition, since there is also a case of a transmitting trouble, 2 and when you will carry out for three days and there is no reply, please ask by E-mail, telephone, etc.
o.O
I’d imagine the Japanese are probably too polite to nickname the hack-job that we gaijin do to THEIR language.
..i think they just call it baka 😛
Funny, I get notes at work that are worse.
