I brought back a bunch of toys for my nieces and nephews...these little solar robotic things that had to be put together. Thank God there were pictures because the directions for assembly were all in Japanese. My BIL sat down with the kids to put them together and was like, "WTF is this?"  |
The Google Translate app for Android (not sure if on iPhone) is awesome. You can take a picture of the symbols, highlight the area you want translated, and it will convert it.
Pretty cool. I used it on a joke pic once, wanted to know what it said
