Translation of the Neighborhoods in International District

[Anonymous]

During the Shaper event we were given "clues" as to where the Shaper was located, some of these included "Red hill", "Purple" etc:

for future reference, here is a rough translation of all the names

Akasaka - "AKA" scarlet, red, bloody "SAKA" slope, hill
Furihata - "FURI" unreasonable, irrational, furious "HATA" flag, loom
Ikebukuro - "IKE" pond "BU" part, percentage "KURO" black, dark
Jurong - god of longevity (not sure about this one) it is also a location in Singapore
Kaede - Maple sugar, sugar, sweet
Kowloon - sin, crime, fault
Murasaki - purple, violet, soy sauce (for sushi)
Sai Kung - "Sai" psy, companion, son "kung" master, discipline
Shinjuku - Divine gift, God Tree (Ailanthus), pearl, belief, acceptance
Shirakaba - White birch
Ueno - the older child, higher position, section of Tokyo

I was putting up my Furihata the other day when I fell into a Kaede tasting Ikebukuro. All of a sudden, Jurong appeared and told me that I have committed Kowloon. So I get out of there and put on my Murasaki combat clothes and give my Sai Kung a Shinjuku. Then I tripped over a Shirakaba on a Saka and caused it to be Aka. And to think, I am the Ueno in my family. Sheesh.

I was bored. Could you come up with a better story? ... I think not :p
