Anyway, neither Mandarin nor English is a standard in Japan, or at least, Tokyo. So, I managed to find my way around Tokyo, from the airport to a bus terminal, to a hotel, around "electric town" Akihabara, (getting semi-lost in the process...I swear that these maps are upside down / backwards - same thing in Singapore - I wasn't lost in relation to the hotel, just in relation to what I was trying to find - I did stumble across a building with the official title being the Nintendo logo), and eventually back to the airport the next day after a little touring this morning. While I feel I did well, I must accredit basically everything to a friend of mine, from booking the hotel to giving me directions via email.
So, back to the issue with English vs. Japanese. In my attempts to use my google account, or just google in general, I had to figure out how to get it displayed in English. I finally deciphered that the url required "hl=en" attached in order to set the def
ault to English. After trying to make setting changes, I still could not get the pages to remain in English - even when I tried to make this post. So, I added the "hl=en" to the url and found success. The new problem was that with each link clicked, I would be on a new page with everything once again in Japanese. I initially tried to conquer this by using Picasa on my computer to make the blog po
st, but to no avail...So, I want back to the direct way have added "hl=en" to every new url. When I go to add these images, it's still in Japanese, with no url display up at the top to edit (the address bar can be changed to always display, but I just didn't bother...)
So, that's that. Which gives way to my request. If anyone knows of a better way, let me know!
