Since Lamen is really spelled and pronounced with L and L sound, should we change spelling to LAMEN?

Japanese made a huge mistake when they spelled LAMEN as ramen in English. The Chinese word is pronounced LAMEN and that is what the Japanese thought they were saying, since their ABC does not have an L sound but only a R sound so they spelled the word LAMEN as “ramen” but it is totally totally wrong. Shouldn’t all lamen lovers of the world unite to get the word spelled correctly now in English. It’s LAMEN, folks, not ramen.

Do we spell language as ranguage? No.
Do we spell love as rove? No.
Do we spell Lolita as Rorita? no.
So it is time to get all English language signs, menus and books and newspaper articles to spell LAMEN correctly.

Do you spell LONDON as RONDON? No.
So what do you say, Japan? You made an innocent mistake. Now please tell the world you made a faux pas and ask everyone to spell lamen as LAMEN.

See my PR campaing notes at the forum under shop talk. I need your help.

Lamen lovers unite, you have nothing to rose but your rovely ramen spelling…

Questions on kaedama…

2007-10-31T22:20:41Z

So, we all know kaedama is where select ramen establishments offer extra noodles at a reduced price to go into your leftover soup.

At places like Shinsengumi Hakata ramen, this is a common practice and they even provide you with extra tare, negi, and shoga so you aren’t watering down the experience.

HOWEVER, it’s my understanding that not all restaurants that serve kaedama provide you with extra tare.

So, my question is...what happens if you drink all or most of your soup and then order a kaedama? Will they say no? Will you have to eat soupless noodles?

Going to Japan next month.

2008-01-21T00:36:14Z

Finally confirmed my trip, I’ll doing the Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka trio over two weeks, beginning of next month.

So, any advice on where to stay, where to eat, all that? I’m getting the JR pass, so I’m thinking of taking a day in Osaka and heading to Hakata for some proper ramen… aside from that, anybody have any cool ideas? It’s my first time in Japan, and I’ll be by myself while in Tokyo and Kyoto, and then will meet my roommate (roommate in the US, but Japanese native) in Osaka.

I’m planning on wapanese-ing out, and hitting Akiba and such, but any other good suggestions? Clubs, bars, picking up chicks… you know, the normal stuff a young-ish guy in Japan would be looking for. Any cool car stuff is appreciated, as well…
