Hakata Tamachi Cup. Joanna Missingham played (but was eliminated by Mukai Chiaki)! Coincidence? I dont think so!
It's the Hakata Kamachi Cup, and as far as I can seen Joanne was eliminated by Nyu Eiko. Sumire lost in the prelims.
The really interesting news from Hakata, though, is the apparent revival of the status of the local dialect. It's now being used in news bulletins there. It's worse than Kansai-ben, which many Tokyo-ites can cope with because of manga and so on. They say "nan ba shiyo tto" for "nani o shite iru ka". Lang may their lums reek ower yon brae broo!
