Wow, my second blog in and any stranger looking at it would think I'm proficient at Japanese! Not so much...but I must admit I'm pretty excited to know how to type ひらがな on my laptop! After two weeks I've memorized the entire ひらがな alphabet and a few basic phrases such as こにちは and しつれえします。I have the most trouble pronouncing Japanese r's-they sound like "r","l", and "d" all at once! Hopefully with time I'll get the hang of it and be a pro.
And now for my list of Japanese favorites...
1. Food: Pocky!
2. Person: Shigeru Miyamoto 宮本茂
He probably doesn't carry a sword on himself all the time but he's still really impressive. He's the mastermind behind Mario, The Legend of Zelda series, Pikmin, and so much more. Without his brilliant ideas leading the way, Nintendo wouldn't be so...well, amazing.

The show/cards/video games were my childhood. I admit that, in college, I may have brought a few stuffed Pokemon and games with me...some habits never die.
I love my Elekid :)
じゃ、また!
Don't feel too bad haha. I still regularly play my games and have even coerced a few people in my section to play them from time to time
ReplyDeleteHaha! The picture of Miyamoto-san made me laugh out loud. And you know what? It would be awesome if he carried a sword everywhere. I still enjoy Pokémon gameboy games, though I forgot to bring them with me. And that is one cute Elekid you have there.
