すてき！

いいですね！！
これから日本語でかけます！iMacがすきです！
でも友建わぜんぶ日本語がわかりません。。。ざんえんですね。。。

さいきんいろいろでやくにたつことをおぼえました。。。たとえば、open と close の漢字。。。そして、一年あとで「横浜」およめます。。。

Okay, enough of my mangled Japanese. If you don't have Japanese characters enabled, you can't read it anyway... but I am rejoicing in the fact that after (almost) a year here, I can finally read the words 'open' and 'closed'. It's funny, the process of very very slowly becoming literate. For ages, everything is completely impenetrable; then gradually, you start to see bits and pieces you know. After I learned the kanji for seasons, I started seeing them everywhere. Summer special. Summer party. Summer campaign. And now I can know if a shop is open or closed! ^_^

I can also, after a year of living here, finally recognise the name of the city in which I live, 'Yokohama'...
