So I went up to Shenyang yesterday to check out Japan vs Holland. A local Japanese travel agency here in Dalian, sent a group of about 200 Japanese Nationals (plus one not-so skinny white boy) up to Shenyang on three busus. Given the anti-Japanese sentiment up here in the north-east, we had a police escort the whole way up there.

I was phoning in audio updates to twitter via drop.io, and if you’d like to check them out, they’re reposted below. I also shot a bit of video, which you can find at the bottom.

I’ve started using this Genius program on my Mac (download it here), and I really recommend it for anyone who’s studying vocab in any language. In addition to the Katakana flash card set (I can’t remember where I downloaded that from…), I’ve put together some beginner vocab sets for Japanese vocabulary. Currently, I’ve categorized all vocab into 3 groups: Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives. Though that may change later.

Note: As I learn more vocab, I’ll add it to these sets and provide the new updated files below the current August 3 revision.

Download them here:
