But I can understand that using these methods can save a lot of money.<br /><br />Take care.<br />KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-20694205363446134792011-01-18T10:13:12.542+09:002011-01-18T10:13:12.542+09:00I can assure you that food prices are pretty darn ...I can assure you that food prices are pretty darn high.

I cannot read the Japanese newspaper, but can read enough to get by (mainly food things). <br /><br />If you know kanji stroke order, there is a great app (don't remember if it costs anything) on the iPhone called "kotoba" which is like a portable kanji dictionary.<br /><br />Take care.<br />KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-71158208719213740182011-01-12T13:56:09.719+09:002011-01-12T13:56:09.719+09:00I'm glad your MIL's spirits are good and h...I'm glad your MIL's spirits are good and her recovering nicely from her burns.<br /><br />I've always been curious about your Japanese ability.
