Odd Japanese English : SMART
Where to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo
Because my photo of the markers received so many shares, I realised that many artists are interested about the markers and perhaps want to know where to buy them from. Hence I wrote this guide for artists to shop in COPIC heaven aka Tokyo. ★ UPDATE NOV 2017: Please refer to my new article for latest updates on COPIC marker shopping! >>> Ultimate Guide to Copic marker shopping in Tokyo, Japan
He-he, You've got very intelligent tummy here, Eva-san! It looks smart also :P
ReplyDeleteBTW, I do not think that Japanese are 'slim' nation. There are many overweighted people too. And me, with my western constitution, did never think that me is looking fat compared to most of Japanese people I've met.
How was Your book presentation? I bet You was very busy and You are tired now.
ewww ...
Yes ewww, I only recovered today...
DeleteMy mind was blank on Monday... but my tummy was full... haha
Somehow I gained weight...hmmm...
He-he, glad that You recovered. These exhibitions and presentations are such frustrating. I don't blame You for being blank and gaining weight. Hope You will get back to normal soon.
DeleteMy best congratulations with that event.
ewww ...
He-he, I just posted reply ... or not posted ... something wrong happens.
DeleteGlad that You are recovered, and hope to see Your new works soon.
ewww...
Thanks ewww! The festival was 10 days long and I was so EXHAUSTED! Glad it's over! I'm now preparing for my last signing at Kinokuniya!
DeleteIn addition to intelligence, "smart" was also formerly used in American English to mean something like "fashionable" or "up to date"... I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that's how it came into Japanese, during the Occupation...
ReplyDeleteI think so too, but slim? HMMM....
