    Hmmm, the NHK podcasts are unknown to me, but it looks like you just gave me some more fodder. Thanks!

    Thanks for the correction, Joel, it’s been added, and I lost the meaningless kana-only column.

    Look here for a little insight. There’s a precision and nifty quality to pens sold in Japan. Most of the best ones aren’t marketed in the West, so you have to look specially. Can’t help you with the monkey thing.

    Thanks and thank you for the link. The Free Plagiarism Checker should also come in handy!

    I was glad to find some at my local Mitsuwa Marketplace, in differing box sizes, so I bought one designed for little kids (with some overly かわいい cover and drawings on it) as well as what look to be more high school size boxes, from Campus. I cannot resist Japanese pens, so I had to buy a few, too. Heisig made me do it, the bastard.

    Greatly helpful. And makes so much sense.

    I was initially a little put off by the thought of posting to Lang-8, but I really grew to like it. I have always managed to get a quick response to nearly anything, and have had 5-7 people correcting my chicken scratchings. I, for one, think it’s really worthwhile.

    Uh oh—I think the source I read was wrong. I believe “tamago” is really 卵.

    Damn. It was so perfect.

    Thanks for the suggestion—I didn’t know about those. After a cursory glance, they seem to be decently priced for calls but bad on data prices, hovering between .49 ~ 3.50 / MB. I think we’ve determined we will use more data than voice on this trip, especially with our Japanese friend using KakaoTalk, which has a VoIP feature.

    The other option is use Verizon’s international rates you sign up for: 100MB/$25. I expect we will use data most of the time, and voice maybe a few times. I can’t imagine Verizon will beat any of the Japanese offerings, but most of their terms are so awful that they just might. At least I don’t need to sign up for something new.

    Huh, I may have to find a combo that works on Kotoeri. I should check the iPhone as well, which I’ve  otherwise found to be easy to use.

    Click “browse” whilst in the deck that contains the cars you want to move, then select all, then click on the deck to which you want to move the new cards and click “Change Deck”. Repeat.

    “Militaristic” is Koichi’s description from, what was it, Season 3-4? I think I’m looking at the TF Anki deck for Identities.
