“The divorce and I live alone” made a tough thing sound tougher to go through, somehow.
Operation friend is go! I repeat, operation friend is go!
Love the fact the dude tried. You may have a new long time friend.
Man he must have put a lot of work into writing that
Waaaay better than I can write Japanese!
It’s the “friend operation” I loved.
This dude has beautiful handwriting skills.
the “Im stuffed and toilet paper” part… like what???! LOL
We need more “friend operations” across all nations.
It’s a go! 🟢
this is effort
I really appreciate this kind of people trying their best to communicate. If I was you neighbor I would definitely visit you all the time and have a good chitchat
I love this. I feel like people are so afraid to have human interactions like this today..it’s all like “text me”
I’d be happy to have this person as my neighbour, and I would google translate something back, to match the effort they made. I’m sure mine would be FAR WORSE than his/hers.
This is so cute though.
His English writing is far superior to my Japanese writing
That’s certain
Please use a translation app and become besties immediately
a little lost in translation, but at least he tried…
I would make sure to smoke extra meat on the smoker just for an excuse to hang out with Hiroshi!
It wasn’t until recently I learned Yamashita is pronounced “Yamasshta”.
I work for a Japanese company with of course many Japanese people.
Frequently they apologize and say “My English is not very good”.
My response is always “Your English is much better than my Japanese”. I know about 3 words….
Operation: friendship is a go go gooo
That Gentleman is looking for a Friend
I want a friend operation!!!!!
You know this guy is a good friend, so everyone wins here.
For someone who isn’t fluent in English their handwriting is pretty damn good.
Since the military is present everywhere, he is most likely enquiring as to whether you are a member of the navy
So sweet
So, do you have a navy?
Can’t understand it but the feeling/intent comes through. If you have navy though, keep that secret.
Poor thing, they tried so hard and I commend their efforts
No Hiroshi, thank YOU for your friend operation!
Operation friend will be a success.
That’s so heart warming 💕🥰
Making an attempt to speak or write another language shows courage and humility. I love this.
I love this. He clearly made an effort – even copying out the letters in our alphabet would be challenging I bet. He’s looking to be friendly, and who doesn’t want a neighbour stuffed with toilet paper? I encourage you to keep up with the notes, try your hand at Japanese! The gesture will be appreciated. Having good relationships with neighbours is priceless.
This was my originally posted in 2013. Still I’ve to see occasionally, but OP didn’t move to Japan.
The world would be a lot better place if more people tried new friend operations
> Do you have navy?
Oh no.. Not again
I love the friend operation
“They took my wife in the divorce”
Do more shit like this and we will all grow as a species.
This is so sweet 🥹
“You can use it if you like” 💀
This is adorable and so such a sweet way to meet somebody and to open a discussion
Neighborly bonds: powered by presents and paper dilemmas.
He put so much care into his English handwriting 😭
Friend operation!!!!! I’m stealing this.
