Oh, to be on an American campus, again.

There is a lot one can miss about school in Nebraska, but I find one of the more interesting differences between Senshu's campus and Lincoln's to be a very superficial one: t-shirts. (Yes, again...)

Perhaps the strangest thing is the total lack of greek shirts, which are overwhelming in the U.S. There are, of course, no fraternities and sororities here, and so of course there would be no greek letters moving across campus plastered on the ass of some girl's black stretch pants, or on the puffed up chest of some guy's t-shirt. Most students don't own cars, so there are no greek bumper stickers, either.

I didn't notice any of this until yesterday, when I saw Lina, a University of Illinois student walking to class in her Wednesday's best (The student readers know what I'm talking about). I, like most students, was unshaven, tired and dirty--but she was dressed to kill, and slung over her shoulder was a bag with three greek letters emblazoned in pink upon the side.

Ahh, a taste of home, although slightly bitter.

I prefer the Japanese student's shirts with their strange pseudo-English slogans that are most likely completely random creations. I've recorded a few more for you, spotted at Senshu University, Ikuta campus:

Virginia is for lovers

Give your love to me softly

Keep on trying, hyphen

The future red cross pedigree

Those all gave me a chuckle, but as for the most interesting shirt that I saw today, well, you'll just have to look at it yourself. Words can't describe it.
