Look at my current avatar and previous avatars (tiny back button):

Poupeegirl is a fashion brand community which allows you to customize your very cute Japanese avatar and also to post photos of your fashion buys, sorting them by brands and categories. The site is loosely translated to English which reads funny at times but all the better for the non-Japanese readers ya? v(^_^)v

Learn Japanese @ Japancast.net

After receiving my new iPod Touch, apart from using it mainly to share my wedding photos and videos with family and friends, I’ve been listening to some podcasts by Japancast.net.

Firstly, and most importantly, it’s free! Sounds too good to be true? But it is true! Next, you get a native teacher, Hitomi, and her American husband, Paul, speaking in both Japanese and English in their lessons. Both Hitomi and Paul also give their personal opinions on culture shock in Japanese and American perspectives. The lessons are very light hearted and I find myself smiling widely on the train or on the bus while listening to their podcasts. So if you’re interested in picking up the Japanese language, go download now! Don’t forget to check their website for very interesting posts of things in Japan and Hitomi’s Japanese blog snippets with English translations.

Taking advice from Hitomi to blog a bit in Japanese everyday;

皆さん、こんにちは！
（みなさん、こんにちは！）
お元気ですか？
（お　げんき　ですか？）
ふりがな英和辞典が欲しいです。
（ふりがなえいわじてんがほしいです。）
