Sometimes When I Flip the Bird
Going back through the files, I decide to do more research, to find current information.
This creature, a Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) has been seen on the blog a few times.
Once in awhile, I hook up my Japanese audience with links, they can read.
Sometimes, I get more information by, poking Japanese into Google search Japan.
A Latin nomenclature, might work or, I use Japanese to copy and paste for searches.
Fooling around with Japanese, which I'm fairly horrible at, can become time consuming.
How About a Japanese Picture Dictionary
That's what this bird helped me discover and, it's quite a handy tool.
Call it a "pictionary" if, you like. That's what I'm gonna do, from now on.
It has pictures, English, Japanese Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana and Romaji listed.
Animals, birds, fish, insects and flowers, are what I'd use it for, mostly.
If you're lost for words in Japan, this site could help with almost anything.
They have astronomy, basic words, banks, bathroom, body organs, clothing, sports and more.
This is a goldmine, worth bookmarking because it has thousands of uses.
For example let's just say, you get upset because it's hard to find large size underwear in Japan.
Walk down the aisles until you find somebody, who looks friendly and say, "Help."
Then if, you saved this on your smartphone, show them a picture of what you want.
They'll point you in the right direction and, probably be amazed at this technology.
Get ready, get set, email this link to yourself "Japanese Pictionary." That's what I did !
