05/28/09 - More Updates Once Again!
As of this exact moment in time, every menu button links to its proper page and every page except for the Culture menu buttons have some kind of info of what is going to come for those pages. It's nothing more than a brief paragraph but hopefully it lets some of you get an idea of the big picture.
Speaking of content, tonight is the debut article of "Hear and There" episode 1 which is a weekly feature by Mnuemonic. Check it out under the Articles menu to read up on a band that led to the birth of many influential rock and metal bands in Japan.
In addition to "Hear and There" I have updated the Tokyo Game Show page and uploaded the 2008 convetion photos I took. The TGS 09 will be in September and I look forward to giving a more detailed look at the show. Keep checking back as more content is added on a daily basis.
On a side note, we found out that the site is best viewed in anything EXCEPT Internet Explorer 7 and 8. Those versions cause the submenus to stack incorrectly for the moment. Its still useable but I'd recommend using a different browser.
05/28/09 - More Updates
A lot was done today, hurray for over 14 hours of working on this piece of crap. All of the previous episodes of Japan Now! are now up on the site. Also under the Events menu the Tokyo Game Show button now has a page with some basic information (more will be added) and has a link on that page going to a page with a 0slideshow of the photos I took at the TGS 08 (more will be added to that as well).
Everyday more menu buttons will be functional and attach to pages... whether some of those have content on them initially is still in the air. For now at least know that I am quickly trying to hammer out this site within 3 or 4 days at most so that I can get back on track with getting the next Japan Now! ep out and begin the production process of the new show.
Daily Japanese!
Let's start off with the proper ways to greet somebody regardless of the time of day.
Good Morning:
Ohayo Gozaimasu / おはようございます
Good Afternoon:
Konnichiwa / こんにちは
Good Evening:
Konbanwa / こんばんは
Good Night:
Oyasuminasai / おやすみなさい
There are various slang versions that exist for greeting people but we will discuss this in a later lesson.
