Not quite, only the latter are pure pork. But you're right, I was thinking of Frankfurter Rostbratwurst, which is what I usually buy when I have to wait for a train. Just goes to show how little Germany has: even we don't know.

Isn't ramen noodles originally from China?

And yes there was a whole floor of a shopping centre at Kyoto station all ramen restaurants.

Really?!

Actually old recordings sound incredibly harsh even to Germans, most people are more soft-spoken than you might expect.

日本語でいろんなソーセージが同じくウィンナと呼んでいることですか？

"Japanese doesn't distinguish sausages. They're all called Wiener."

それとも日本人がソーセージを見分けないこと？

"A don't distinguish sausages, we B Wiener."

A = I and other Japanese
A = We Japanese
A = Japanese people

B = equally call them
B = always say
B = just say

Mix and match :)

May I ask?

Could you describe a traditional Japanese breakfast in detail?

(The classic question to ask when you are hungry)

Well, they don't have as much reason as we do!

Have you heard of Avatar? It's an American production and many anime fans like it (me not so much). I looked into the Japanese dub and have to say that the English original is better. Maybe that's an incentive ;)
