FR Update

First of all I was going to write "F Update" for the title but some of you with not-as-nice-minds might of thought otherwise. =D

Ok so Site News!

1. Drawing board has updated flip book. It is under the chat window.

2. Blog now has ads. This will help support Ani-Pock. More information on Google Ads.

3. Added Google Search to Blog. Note: The index is a work in progress

4. I'm taking suggestions for the link section on the right side bar. Right now it is just Apple and Ani-Pock. I'll remove Apple from it and drop in some web comics. But what comics would you suggest? I'm thinking Megatokoyo right now and Tsunami Channel. Post suggestions in the comments section.

5. Blog updates will be more frequent, with focus on Japanese Culture. I will update throughout the day, so check back later.

So with that in mind, lets start with Today's Japanese Culture update.

Japanese Culture: Learning Japanese Part 1

So I thought it would be fun to learn some Japanese since alot of you come here to watch the anime. I'm going to take clips from the 'Learn Japanese Podcast' which you can find here.

I'll clip out the 'most useful' parts and post them up every once in a while. Today we are going to learn to say 'Good morning' and how to reply.

To hear Today's lesson, just click this link: Learning Japanese Clip 1 (2 minutes)

Please Note! That is not me talking ! This is from the "Learn Japanese Podcast". I'm just clipping out he most useful part for you.

That is all for this update. I will update the blog througout the day, so check back later.

Someone suggested a poll for who is Japanese and who isn't! Kamisori points out that polls are fun. Yup yup! Vote now:

Update: 11:44 AM J-Culture: Today is Girls' day

From about.com :

March 3rd is Japanese Girl's Day called Hina-matsuri (Doll Festival.) It's a celebration for Japanese girls. (Japanese Boy's Day is May 5th.) People display a set of hina ningyo (dolls) and props in the house, wishing girls' healthy growth and happiness.

I also found this picture of Girl's Day cellebrations at Disneyland:
