The owners of Funky Tonky have a blog, apparently. And they wrote about us, because we gave them a shot glass (which ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

The funny part was, "雨の日も、風の日も、雪の日もつっかけと半袖の人です。 シカゴ出身の方らしく日本の寒さは、地元に比べればぜんぜん寒くないとの事ですがどうやら強がりだったらしく、風邪を引いていました。" Roughly (based on Babelfishing, kanji roll-over, and looking things up in a paper dictionary), it means, "Even when it's windy or rainy or snowing, the person from Chicago always wears short sleeves. He says he isn't cold because Chicago is colder than here, but we think he's bluffing because he caught a cold anyway." Burn. :-p Though they go on to mention that, "Because he's a good person, we'll overlook that" (though in much more deferential language, obviously).
Babelfish totally butchered the last part, but it seems to be hoping that Chicago and Chiyoda can become closer together. This may be symbolic for "maybe we can get to know them better," but my Japanese isn't that good.
How kind of them. ^_^
