This banner hails the arrival of Ponyo across Japan!

While I was taking this picture, a middle aged Japanese woman walked past me and called me a "stinky gaijin" to my face. This takes the top spot as the new worst insult I've received in a foreign language :). I turned to her and said "You got a problem with me?" in English. This startled her and she rushed off to go smoke a cigarette under a nearby awning. Since it was my birthday, I stayed positive and resisted the urge to cuss her out in Japanese. Oh well, there are narrow-minded people wherever you go.
