What the heck. Good luck with that... I bet Osaka-ben and Nomikai would get taken off for one of the following: Ainu/Okinawan minority issues, militant nationalism (the big scary war past), or pop culture exports (<em>anime</em>, video games, etc.). But for all we know they could be selected at random. You could wind up with ninjas, sushi, geishas, bamboo, and coke bottle glasses. But seriously, does nobody question the choices made in that keyword list? :-P Ha ha ha – Ebonglish? What the heck. Good luck with that…

I'm a major supporter of just merging the two. You know, the Ebonglish movement? It makes you wonder, though, how an American textbook might summarize modern Japan in 2 pages... 1) Yasukuni 2) Zangyou 3) Nomikai 4) Osaka-ben Everyone knows the two official languages of America are English and Ebonics.

Welcome to the site. Australia was mentioned, though I didn't spend too much time. Seemed to be all aboriginal peoples and body paint, from the pictures. And Ken, It was イギリス, not 英国. I think that's common, though. Ha ha. Whew. Alas, I don't have the textbook anymore. I do have a few quick shots I snapped of the pages, though, so I'll get them up when I can. Ha ha.

I'd like to see what they say. I'm not too sure what I'd pick for Australia (it's easier to see something when you're outside it than in) but I'm thinking maybe something about: * Sport * Mateship * Beer * Ummm....
