Pass The Chopsticks

http://passthechopsticks.blogspot.com

We're a United States Navy (submarine) family stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. My husband spends a lot of time out to sea, so I venture out with our daughters (4 and almost 3) and sometimes with friends to new places. I post pictures, little tidbits about where we've been and try to keep things light and funny. Come see the sights and hear the sounds of Japan through our eyes!

  • It\'s Buu Buu, Not Oink Oink!

    In Japan pigs don't say "Oink," they say "Buu!" It sounds like "boo" and then "u" which rhymes with to. The Hiragana says "Buu" on each foot. I emailed my friend Mayumi and asked her about it and here's what she had to say:Those letters are Hiragana....
