It was a while ago now that I finished my fifth, having lived apart from my computer for such a long time, but I can look back at all the hard work with a smile. One got a bit of radio play in its day, but its more fun remembering the time recording and the people I spent it with.

Picture it; a secluded beach and the sun on my back – albeit a not so warm, Tassie Spring sun. And there was just a solitary dolphin swimming in the bay, almost within ten meters from the beach. I couldn’t not get in with him, and he was such a nice fella, very patient with my lack of speed, and the more I had fun, the more he resonded. All good things and all that… a guy in a motor boat came up and ruined it all about half and hour later, but it was pretty darn special all the same. I wonder if he remembers it…?

Embarrassingly, I’ve been living in Japan for almost two years now and have only managed to learn two hundred or so Kanji, despite actually trying. So, I’ve turned to Heisig for help, a little inspiration and whatever else he’s got. I’ve learnt two hundred or so in just the last week (admittedly without readings or compounds) but I have embarrassed a few of my Japanese friends already by asking what Kanji meant, only to be met with satisfying silence. Eighteen hundred to go!
