Can you plug a US appliance in a Japanese outlet?

Not typically. Domestic service in many areas of Japan is similar to US Network services in that it provides two phases, like ABN to a service, then BCN to the next, etcetera. There are appliances in the US designed for Network services; but then there is the question of the plug at the end of the cord -- will it match both physically and electrically. It is best to first identify where in Japan you want plug the appliance and second find out available electric service parameters -- they still have some DC over there...


What is a fun way to learn the periodic table?

You cannot expect any method to do the job instantly, but there are several things you can do to aid the memory process. Print a few copies of the table and put them up in places you spend most of your time, then remind yourself to keep referencing them frequently. Putting at least one in a good, visible place where you can see it at a glance, or without even consciously looking at it (such as next to your PC monitor) can be helpful. You'll be surprised how much you memorise over time without even trying. You can also download an image to use as your wallpaper, or install an app for your mobile phone - there are periodic table reference apps for Android, iPhone, Symbian, RIM/BBOS, and older Java-enabled phones too. Use phonetic pronunciations or work each line of elements into acronyms, sentences, or short stories that are more easily memorable that bland lists. Even semi-sensible gibberish that is easily memorised can aid recollection of connected data. For instance, as a quickly improvised example, the first eleven elements (H, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na) could be memorised as something like "Hehe! Libby Bacon of any name." Emphasise "H He LiBe BCN OF Ne Na" as you memorise it, and practice converting back and forth to the sequence of elements in your head. It is probably better to stick to each line, or memorable groups. You can find mnemonic phrases like this (or you could make your own up) for each line or sequence and link them together. Practice them frequently! Eventually, you will find the relevant information coming to mind even before you fully recall the mnemonic used.
