which_chickI got a postcard from the brother and his wife. They're in France, Tours specifically. That's where the postcard is from.
Here's the message part of the postcard:
Just in case you're not up on your languages, the postcard is not in french. That's handwritten Japanese. It is perhaps slightly optimistic of my brother and his wife to think that I can actually read a postcard written in Japanese, but I'm giving it ye olde college try. Let's look at it in smaller doses so that they are less intimidating.
This (above) is the salutation. To Jessica:
It's hot here.
But we are still going to cafes because we like them. I'm a little foggy on the next sentence because I'm too stupid to be able to read that initial kanji. I sux0r. It doesn't look like any that I know and my radical lookup skills are not clearing the fog. I got nowhere with it. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bugarup? not_your_real? Is there anyone in the studio audience who can give me a leg up, here?) Picking up with 大変だったね。 ..., that was(?) really horrible, y'know. (The horribleness refers to the first half of that sentence, the part I can't read. The hirigana between the two are probably から though that's the weirdest looking か I've seen in a while. It does match the が in 行くのが on the previous line, though. から is usually (because) or (since). The next kanji is probably 落ちる conjugated to an "ing" noun sort of a thing.. It means to fail, like an exam.)
Roy bought a red pair of shoes. Welp, laterz.
