So one of the students in my Japanese class actually went to Japan recently and because he is an amazing human being he brought back Japanese candy for everyone. Because it is April there was sakura (cherry blossom) flavored candy so that was a special treat. I can't actually have the candy because of my allergies, but everything was nice to look at (he brought a BUNCH of stuff). The teacher said the boxes were nice and that we should keep them so I grabbed one, considering I couldn't actually eat the candy. The teacher had us all stand up and bow to thank him, which was probably one of the most enthusiastic bows I have ever seen in my class (we bow at the beginning of class, during group exercises, and at the end of class).
Here's what I picked out from the candy (which seems silly considering I can't eat it but hey it's nice to look at and I can find someone to give it to)
Isn't the cat candy adorable? We need this in the United States.
Also, because I have food allergies I have a habit of checking the ingredient lists on things. However, the ingredient label on this was entirely in Japanese.
I can read some of it but in general I have no idea what is written there. Since I had a bunch of Japanese right there, I decided to try out the camera function on the google translate app again. Apparently when you point your camera at something it will try to translate it immediately, so this appeared.
So yeah, a lot of it is nonsense, but the fact that it can turn it into English like that is really, really cool. Anyway, it was fun to play with!
