One of the things that I don’t like about going back and forth between Japan and the states is that the computer keyboards are slightly different and really confusing. On a Japanese keyboard, ‘ is shift 7. @ is on the key next to P. Also, there are 4 keys that have – mark. Every key has 4 letters or marks on it. The space key is much smaller and if I hit a key next to a space key, it changes the language from English to Japanese. Typing in Japanese is really annoying too. After typing a couple sentences, I have to go back and check if the computer chose the right kanji (Chinese Characters) for every single word and usually, it doesn&t. There, I just did shift 7 for ‘. Grrrr.
