I just wanted to share with you. Today at the grocery store I meet the sweetest older couple. It dawns on me now that they were a sherlock and John in real life. John chubby with a grey beard and sherlock gray with a long black coat. The sherlock one kept running off to find food while the john one followed slowly in the cart. They talked to me about pizza and the size of my freezer. I'm convinced it's a love sign of their anniversary. :)
ASLKDFJLKASDHFLKASFDHKLASDHFK LOVELY THIS IS SO PERFECT THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH ME PERSONALLY.
Easy Japanese! is a lot like Duolinguo (which sadly doesn’t have Japanese). Good for learning nouns, numbers, simple sentences -- and also writing, if you want. I find it addictive.
Learn Japanese phrasebook is a simple app that just lets you listen to and favorite travel phrases for easy reference.
Human Japanese gives really helpful detailed info about the why and how of pronunciation and writing, but is probably more detailed than needed for quick travel phrases.
I’ve also been listening to podcasts: Survival Japanese Phrases -- very helpful! -- and JapanesePod101.

“Japan”
The photo translate option in Google translate is EXTREMELY helpful and I recommend downloading the Japanese dictionary for it so you can access the basics offline. But ... すみません (excuse me/I'm sorry) and わかりません (I don't understand) will help you out A LOT. Also pocket wifi was a blessing.
Thanks for the recs -- and yay! I could read those phrases and understand!! わかります :D

“Japan”
I miss Japanese a lot! I still remember most of these, I've just forgotten the structure for telling time. Good luck learning!!
Thank you! It seems like you just add “ji” to a number (with a few exceptions); my own questionable attempt for “it’s cat o’clock” is 猫時です(neko ji desu)

おかえりなさい!Welcome back! :) Yup, it was me. (Or maybe it was me as todayintokyo. One of us.) If we can go walkabout again, it would be great. We can celebrate your return in this detective cafe. :)
PS: Everything about cats is fully legit in Japan. Everything and anything.

Yay, I can pronounce that! ;) And that sounds great... I’ll definitely let you know when there are details. And yes, I remember going to cat street, and cat cafes... I know I won’t go wrong with this obsession! (Also, my parents got me a stuffed neko atsume kitty for Christmas -- Spots -- so cute!)
shipping-only-reason mentioned you in a post“My predictions”

“Omg I found an adorable hedgehog at my local coffee shop and nabbed...”
SOOOOO CUUUUUTE. Almost, but not quite, as cute as your cats.
NOTHING is that cute. ;)

“Bonus: hedgehog wearing Sherlock wallpaper scarf.”
omg. THIS IS SO CUTE.
People at the cafe were giving me odd looks. (And also talking about how Benedict Cumberbatch looks like an otter, at the next table over!!) It was totally worth it. :)
@theclearestglass replied to your post “Question for y'all...”
I intend to watch it tomorrow! I should be blocking spoilers but instead I'm just scrolling past them quick because I'm lazy
Heh, I hear you... I used to use XKit to block things, but now I’m on my phone most of the time and do the same for things I wanna avoid.

So many choices.
Gosh, yes... I’m leaning towards Dream Theory atm, but give it a few hours and I’ll be back to EMP or fretting whether or not it’s all real after all^^
