This time I&#8217;d like to shill for an application that isn&#8217;t free, but definitely is worth the money! My biggest weakness with Japanese is the kanji. I am rubbish at remembering them, especially the multiple readings. What I [...]]]></description>

But an e-mail a few weeks ago caught my eye and I had to post to mourn the passing of Capsule Inn Akihabara.On [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like a challenge. When someone at Brisbane Anime Society made the claim that &#8220;Comiket is too expensive&#8221; I laughed a mighty laugh and told them that it could be done for a mere $2000. Considering that Kevin Rudd is handing out his $900 hush money at the moment, that&#8217;s practically halfway there!
Now, this doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
