Just when I think I might be getting a grip on Japanese culture, I see this photo (link courtesy of firecat). Er, MEEP!

Meanwhile, I have spent a good few hours fiddling with my luverly new game. You know you're in trouble when even a native Japanese speaker can't understand the manual! However, after web searching by said nexxcat, things are finally making (small amounts of) sense. Hooray!

Hmm... The picture was taken in China. I was sortof waiting for the surgical mask to become a fashion accessory though :).

Nonono, it wasn't that I couldn't understand the manual; it was that the manual had nothing to understand =)

And, re: Japanese culture: I don't understand it either, but I just speak the language, not claim to have a grip on anything else here.

Ah, you bought it.

I can't talk since I now have _2_ copies of Sakura Taisen... :-)

Sometime you and taimatsu and other people who like anime/manga should come round with a load of DVDs for me to watch.

In theory this is an excellent idea, although I suspect I will remain disorganised...
