Enghisl

There is a lot of English around. Unfortunately, it's usually not enough to actually decipher what type of product, store, or restaurant it is. So far my favorite things I've found are:

Drinks:
  • Lactic Drink: a milky looking drink that tastes similar to coconut milk and pineapple juice mixed together
  • Pocari Sweat: never has sweat tasted so refreshing. It's similar to gatorade, only whitish and not quite clear.
  • Fruit Milk: have yet to taste this wonder...

Various Products:

  • Green Man and White Men toothpaste are both brands I encountered. White Men comes in flavors such as orange, strawberry, and cherry and usually includes a small toy in the package.
  • Kuda: For Curious Woman --I think this is a clothing store chain...
  • Prank Cat School Supplies: "Prank Cat, you are always on my mind."
  • High Tide Condoms...The word 'condom' isn't on the package, but given that there is a western couple on the front of the box sucking face...I think 'High Tide' says it all...

And when left to only decipher signs from visuals...watch out! I've seen a sign that has a woman holding a baby, two huge babies crawling, and then in the corner a test tube, with two babies crawling towards the top...fertility clinic? Baby clothes? Maternity wear? This is store is apparently also "for curious woman."
