Yes, I was there in july, especially in the internet café on the second floor of MacDo’s building (the red sign behind Lotteria’s sign), where I looked at my emails and at Japanesepod101 !
I was there on a saturday, and it was a lot more crowded in the street than here.
And people looked a lot younger too!

質問がありま。”っぽい”どんな意味がある増すか？

中村海とさん、

Have you seen the grammar bank in the Premium Learning center? It has definitions for over 280 grammar points, just like this one:

Ppoi is a suffix used in informal spoken Japanese to change a noun into an adjective.It is similar in usage and meaning to the English suffix “y” in the terms “girly” and “filthy”, or “ish” in the term “childish”. Like its English counterpart, ppoi usually has a negative connotation.

Also, it has links to related lessons. These lessons should definitely add more insight. Thanks again!

A few years ago it was very fashionable to have T-shirts, bags, etc… with kanji (or hanzi) on it… so fashionable that some people produced either fake characters, or had them printed upside down or left-to-right… which looked pretty ridiculous to anyone with any knowledge of kanji…

The worst T-shirt I ever saw can be bought at the underground floor of Paris’s biggest japanese bookshop. The underground floor sells manga (both in japanese and french) and caters to teenagers, most of whom don’t speak japanese (but will by japanese mangas anyway, because it looks cool… I know, I did the same… ).
There you can by an all-black T-shirt, with a red antique-seal-like text that reads (in hiragana) : “にほんじんになりたい”….

“にほんじんになりたい”

Abrassart, I notice you use the emoticon at the end of every post… do you mean to come across as stuck up? I don’t see what else constantly rolling your eyes at people can represent…
