Should be:<br /><br />"An outbreak of 'swine flu' is now ongoing. Passengers from Mexico, the USA or Canada, or who have recently travelled in these countries, please contact the quarantine officer."<br /><br />Nice introduction to Japan: paranoia and communication errors. Soon to be followed with concrete and exposed ducts. Yeah, that's Gilliam.Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8528686231765021097.post-57610218448271941332013-03-07T08:37:09.276+09:002013-03-07T08:37:09.276+09:00Good point: they've fucked up the verb tense i...Good point: they've fucked up the verb tense in the second clause. Should be, 'who have recently traveled in...'. But no, you don't need a native speaker to vet your publications, because head-oyaji passed the 'Ei-ken'. %$#@!Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8528686231765021097.post-63566556608550114392013-03-06T23:58:10.143+09:002013-03-06T23:58:10.143+09:00I'm trying to wrap my head around that sign.

Messed with my head. Ever seen "Tidelands"? Saw it at a festival introduced by Gilliam. If you are patient, it is a piece of genius, though can't say enjoyable.Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8528686231765021097.post-16035520285390498372013-03-06T08:26:10.283+09:002013-03-06T08:26:10.283+09:00Ha.
