Tokyo Tales - Glossary
http://www.tokyotales.com/glossary
Tokyo Tales - Glossary. Japanese for thank you. May be expanded to (the slightly more polite) arigato gozaimasu (ありがとうございます) or (the more polite again) domo arigato gozaimasu (どうもありがとうございます). Short for convenience store. Conbini. Literally just means very, but is used in casual Japanese for thanks. A handy alternative to a full-blown domo arigato gozaimasu. When thanking the conbini. Checkout clerk for bagging up your pocky sticks. Japanese word for foreigner. Actually a contracted form of gaikokujin.

Next: May the Telnet be with you. always. March 23, 2006. Heehee heehee heehee heehee heehee heehee heehee. A handy little application for the Mac (OSX 10.1 or higher) that plays nothing but static, all day long. It's bliss. It sounds a bit weird to start with, but you soon get used to it and it's extremely effective at blocking out the sounds of any hyenas that might be mating nearby. Now if I could just find an application to block the smell of their bento lunches. I tried downloading Pong. All good su...

Previous: May the Telnet be with you. always. Next: Assorted linkery for March 27th. March 25, 2006. It's been a productive day here at Tokyo Tales Towers. Had a loooong lie-in (I like to get the weekend off to a good start), booked flights back to the UK, researched shipping options, bought assorted sundries related to the move, watched some classic episodes of Frasier. But the highlight was undoubtedly finding a beautiful piece of Japlish. I need one of these! Wasn't even drinking milk at the time.

Japanese resources - The Nexus
http://ashura-sama.livejournal.com/3530.html
Where all randomness meets. Yuuko to Suuta no Ayakashi-tachi (Gekijouban xxxHolic OST). For all you fellow edict users out there, a word of advice: get that Japanese-German dictionary, now! Has an entry in the Japanese-German dictionary but none of the Japanese-English ones. I decided to make a list of useful resources for people learning Japanese and translating manga. So, without further ado, the list. In no particular order. (Though I've divided it in categories somewhat now.). Mahou is a subbing grou...
