Good english

Here in Japan they are many different examples of English that maybe isnt used the same it is back home - so of these can be quite funny at times.
I will try to post some of these on here.
Here are 2 things from Kyoto.
When we come back from a road trip and exit off of the Highway there is a store, I think one of the guys said it is an electronics store, but the name is "The Glory Hole." I think a quick Google search might have helped check the name on that one.

 

And where we live, Kyoto, is part of the Kansai region. This region includes the prefectures (what we would call a state in the U.S.) of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo (where Kobe is) and Shiga. Another name for this region is the Kinki region. One day we were in a car in Kyoto and saw the Kinki taxi go by. We just couldn't help but laugh. (maybe you could catch the Kinki taxi to the glory hole.....too much?)
