Xmas season has started in Tokyo.
東京のクリスマス季節はもう始まったようだ。

Saw this on another blog and just had to post it. Wow.

「殺し屋イチ」と言うマンガからイメージをスカャンをしてこのデスクトップイメージを作った。

I scanned an image from the “Ichi The Killer” manga and made a desktop wallpaper out of it.

If you don’t already know, I’m an avid user of the photo sharing site Flickr.com. I happened to come across a user on there that has some really amazing photos of old Japan. I’m not sure exactly how he acquired all of them, but they are great. Below are just some samples. To see them all head over to Okinawa Soba’s photos on Flickr.com.

僕はよく使っているFlickr.comと言う写真サイトで珍しいものをたくさん見つけた。「Okinawa Soba」と言う人が昔の日本の写真をいっぱい載せた。どやて手に入ったか分からないけどすごくきれいな写真だ。下にちょっとだけ載せたがOkinawa Sobaのサイトで全部見られる。

I'm not a super train geek or anything, but I do know the Yamanote line pretty well. It's the green-and-silver train that does a big loop around central Tokyo, that takes you from Meguro to Tokyo Station in 19 minutes and from Shinjuku to Shibuya in precisely 7. I used to take it everyday to school and now I ride it all the time to get places. Now, with this strange-but-kinda-cool digital watch that looksl ike the train station sign announcing the arrival of the next train, you can wear the Yamanote line on your wrist.

Anyone learning Japanese who also happens to spent a lot of time wasting away in front of a computer will definitely get a kick out of a bunch of new Nihongo courses on iKnow from Cerego Japan.

The Japanese Core 2000 module, for example, splits a large vocabulary list up into ten bite-size chunks complete with examples, pronunciation guides and more.

I won’t go into detail here, but the site is so Web 2.0 it almost hurts – that can be a bad thing when overused, but Cerego has done a great job of making the learning experience as clean and uncluttered as possible.

So far, the vocab stretches only to roughly a lower-intermediate level of Japanese, but plenty more is promised to arrive soon.

そろそろ日本語のブログを始めます。このブログはずっと日本語の勉強と日本文化について書いています。２年間以上やっていますが今までは英語しか書いていない物です。日本人が読めるように、日本語の勉強になるように、これから日本語で書こうと思ています。僕は日本語能力がまだまだですからここに書いてある文章は間違いだらけかもしれません。気になる失敗があればコメントの方に教えてくれたら嬉しいです。これからよろしくお願いします。

So I decided that it’s about time I start posting some things in Japanese around here. I’ve been living in Japan long enough now (over 1.5 years) and besides it’s good Japanese practice for me. I’m sure I’ll be making plenty of mistakes along the way, so please bear with me and feel free to make any corrections in the comments.

Great news for all you lovers of wacky Japanese products out there with the announcement that Thanko has added an English portal to their Rare Mono Shop.
