Signs-Part 2



Do you understand this one? "Shirts and Shoes required"

I know it sounds silly, but down the shore many restaurants and shops have this kind of poster on the door, or in the entrance. Of course, common sense is that you must wear a shirt and shoes when you enter a shop or restaurant. But down the shore, many guys walk around with their shirts off. The walk around shirtless, without a shirt on. That's right, they reveal the beautiful chest hair and beer bellies for all to see! :)
When I was younger, I sometimes walked around outside with my short off, but as I have gotten older and wiser and more modest, I recently tend to wear a shirt at all times.
Also, down the shore, many people walk around barefoot, without any shoes on. I think Japanese people can not imagine such a thing, walking around outside with nothing on your feet, but actually at beach towns, it is quite common. In fact, I do it too.

"Breakfast Specials, Monday thru Friday except Holidays Free Coffee till 9:00AM
A) 2 eggs, Corned Beef Hash, Homefries, Toast or Bagel, w/Cream Cheese- $6.70
B) Lox, eggs and onions, homefries, Toast or Bagel, w/ Cream Cheese-$9.70"

Do you know what homefries are? How about Lox?
Which breakfast special would you choose, A or B?
When I went to the restaurant that day, I ordered B. But today I am in the mood for A.





The below is a photo of deli meat and cheese. I love deli meat-turkey breast, roast beef, corned beef, ham, salami---all Yummy:)
And I prefer my deli meat on rye bread, or wheat bread. Extra mustard, and hold the Mayo please!

Compared to Japan, the price of coffee is much cheaper in this shop. And, what do you think about the price of bagels in this shop, compared to the price of bagels in Japan?
