Hello! This is the second Japanese Lesson that's going under the book, "Japanese Lessons". Even though for me, this is the first one I'm typing for the book since I was waiting to submit the others. :) Either way, now that my lessons have gained some fans, I'm working to update them more often. Also, these lessons started out as translations I picked up from traveler's guides, so this lesson's topics are sightseeing and transportation. Enjoy! Oh, and please note Romaji (Japanese in the our letters) does not need to be capitalized, I only do so for my own obsession with proper capitalization. :)
