This is the best misuse of English I’ve found in Ecuador so far. It was so good it reminded me of all the Engrish in China.
One of my students’ t-shirts was black, but it said “CRACK” in big white all-caps on the front. On the back in odd configurations were the following phrases: “What’s are you doing?” “Absolutely not” “ONLY THIS TIME” “Don’t tell me abouti” “You’ll be ok” “NOTHING SPECIAL” and “CAST”…
Perhaps a mangled reference to the crack rock? My real question is why my student would buy this shirt. She’s in the highest grammar level we have at our school, and she’s a good student. She should know it sounds ridiculous.

So as happens occasionally in the flickr community, I was contacted by a Japanese magazine about one of my photos from the Semana Santa procession in Quito. You never really think these things are real until you see it finalized, though. Plus, my photos have been used by online publications once or twice, but this was a magazine, so anyway…
The magazine is new, its called Transit. Its all in Japanese. They did an entire issue on traveling in the Andes. They sent me a copy in Ecuador. First time in my life I wish I read Japanese.
The cover:

They included lots of gorgeous photos like this:
Macchu Picchu and Llama
And here is my photo. Its only about an inch by an inch and a half, but heck, it says copyright Matthew Murchison, which is quite enough for me:
