Well it’s a few days after my birthday now, but I never did show what I got that day besides the figmas that had arrived early. I think I went a little overboard on spending, but at least my wife and son got stuff too. Here’s my stash of goodies that I got. So, the Dirty Japanese book the wife picked out, but once I read some of it I couldn’t resist, gah! Survival Japanese book is really cool, having the Kanji/Kana and Romaji and even proper pronunciation of many useful words and sentences. I’m pretty sure I mentioned before that I’m trying to learn to read, write and speak Japanese basically on my own. Along with my Kana de Manga book, and numerous bookmarked websites these books should help. So my mom came over and switched my DS’s default language to Japanese to mess with me, I think I’ll keep it like that though 😛 It doesn’t affect the actual games so why not. I only have one game so far, and only got it cuz it’s been ages since I played a Zelda game. Anyone know any good games for Nintendo DS? I know I saw some Kanji games in full Japanese for people that have 1-3 years of language study on J-list. I’ll wait a while before I get any of those though, I want to be able to actually read them first. So is there much in the way of anime related games for the DS? I’ve heard a little but any suggestions are more than welcome.
My wife ended up getting a cool looking Japanese doll too, that I found in a really old looking bookstore while walking around downtown. I’m sure she’ll post it up on her blog eventually.
