Read signs in Japan, even if you don't know Japanese - International travel tip
Afraid to visit Japan because you can't read the signs? Are you intimidated by all the Kanji? Don't worry! First, buy a Nintendo DS, and then, buy a Japanese/English dictionary cartridge called: Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten.
No matter how bad your Kanji stroke order is, and no matter how sloppy your handwriting, this dictionary helps you read Kanji in a light and compact way. After you write the character, it will show you the various English translations.
It also breaks down the Kanji into hiragana and katakana for a simple read for those with limited Japanese language training.
