Kanji Mistakes are so Funny!

Sarah writes one of the funniest and best blogs about Japan. This story about her most embarrassing moment in Japan made me laugh so much. My biggest Kanji mistake was probably when I accidentally wrote "きょうねん” (享年: The year that a person dies) instead of ”きょねん” (去年: Last year) in a text to my friend. It must have sounded like a creepy email from a ghost. "The year I died, I went camping in Yamanashi." So that's my Kanji mistake story. Sarah's is funnier.

Sarah is from South Africa. She lives in Sapporo. She is a total foxy lady in her pictures. She has a lot of inner strength and is also really funny. Please read her whole blog, but first read this story from it. SARAH WROTE THIS:

"Kanji and the Art of Embarrassing Yourself
So I moved to Japan (that you know, right? :p ) and the first thing that hit me was that I didn`t understand anything. It was like being in a foreign country (hahaha). If you don`t know anything about the Japanese language - all you need to know is this - it`s made out of THREE different alphabets. One called katakana which looks like this セーラ　(that`s my name), hiragana which looks like this ありがとう！(which says arigato! or thank you) and thirdly, Kanji. And when you write, you mix all three like this - 南アフリカから来ました。　Which says `I`m from South Africa.`

I desperately wanted a kanji name. Kanji is so freaking cool. So, I set about finding one that matched the syllables of Sarah - Se & Ra.
I started with Se - 世　which means World.
Ra was a little harder. There aren`t all that many Ra kanji - so I found a bunch and asked my friend Masa what they meant. The one I liked best was this 裸- and I asked him to translate. He said `noodle`. And since my family calls each other `noodle` (Sarah-noodle, pass the salt, please etc) as a term of endearment, I thought that 世裸　World Noodle, would be a fitting and apt name.
Only, he didn`t say Noodle.
He said Nu-do.
Which means naked. And for about 3 weeks I went around showing everyone (my students! friends! boss!!) my new kanji name - 世裸　World Naked.
I should have had business cards made. Only I`m not so sure people would`ve known what kind of business i was in exactly."
