My new best friend

Since the date of my departure is growing nearer and nearer, there are tonnes of purchases that need to be made in the next few weeks. From clothes, to cameras and luggage. A few days ago I ordered this beauty - the Canon V80 Wordtank. A Japanese-English and English-Japanese translator with a massive amount of useful features.


One of the biggest bonuses of the V80 is the ability to draw on the screen using the pen tool, this would make searching for unknown 漢字 (Kanji) a lot easier than using the keypad and dictionary. These things aren't cheap but definitely worth it, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of my best friends once I'm in Japan.
