    I recognise the Japan one most (obviously XD).

    Here are a few I know, with the romanji to match. :P
    闇 - Yami - Dark
    光 - Hikari - Light
    地 - Chi - Earth
    王 - Ou - King
    遊戯 - Yuugi - Game
    Some of those may be wrong, but meh. I'm not perfect. XD Obviously I learned those ones from Yugioh. XD

    Though I like Katakana most, probably because it was the first one I started to learn and I know many more characters from it.

    Meow... one of my first kanji was Yama (river) too!... it was followed by Yama, though, as I first encountered it tryint to translate the name Yamakawa XD

    My favourite kanji? It's Nin (a specifit one, meaning perseverance, sufference, hiding and more). I shall post it later, since (as I said before) this computer doesn't read japanese language... ^^

    Hrm... Aoi ga suki desu... to midori ... KUURU na iro ga daisuki dayo! X3 (Hrm... I like blue... green also... I love cool colors! :D)

    My first kanji... that's a nice one. It was "Tori." (bird). I remember reading some dragonball manga, and it had the name of the artist in its Kanji form: "Toriyama Akira." I looked it up after I bought a kanji dictionary, and it was the first one I memorized, lol. I don't have Japanese fonts installed on my computer, so you'll have to settle for a bad scrawl of it from Macromedia Flash:

    There is no kanji for the word pink, so you use katakana instead (ピンク). ^^

    Anyway, I haven't tried all that much Japanese food. o_O Mostly just sushi, heh. But... I adore sushi. <3 <3 It's by far my favourite food. I like the salmon sushi best~

    Can't the Kanji for birght and red be used for pink? I think I've seen it like that before. O.o As for food, probably Okonomiyaki, I've never liked anything Japanese better than that.

    Mmm... I think I've heard of that too, but it's more common to use the katakana for pink. @_@

    Meow... I have always used pinku (in katakana), although I know they sometimes use momoiro as well, which means peach colour. I don't know why, but peaches are represented as pink in japanese anime - is that some kind of japanese peach or something? O.o;

    Unfortunately, I have yet to try a sample of Japanese food. I'd love to try a riceball. And I'd love to try sushi. What do those two foods taste like?
    Oh yeah, I just memorized two new kanji and their Japanese Romanji. I learned Run and ran. Run is aruki and ran is hashiru, according to my Japanese dictionary. Oh yeah, best way to memorize Kanji is to write them over and over again and use them in sentences.
    Today I just found out that my math teacher lived in Japan for three years. Darn, is everyone from Japan or something!
    One question. What does "hoe" mean in English. I cant find a translation in my dictionary and it's in my Cardcaptor Sakura manga to the point where it makes me paranoid.

    Ah, "hoe" is just a word Sakura made up. ^^; She just uses it when she's surprised or scared.

    For me, I learn kanji best when I'm using them in sentences and writing different sentences over. :O That way I remember how I'm supposed to use them. I'll forget a ton over the summer, though. T_T;;
