While
we were on the trip, I looked at the signs and was surprised to see how many of
the basic kanji we are learning were on the signs!
The car
kanji 車 was everywhere on road and parking signs.
Mountain 山
Three 三
Inside 中
Water 水
These are just a few of the many I saw and could recognize. It’ll
be a long time before I know enough characters to actually be able to
understand what the signs say, but it is kind of exciting to see a few things I
recognize.

That takes me back to the early days of Chinese learning.
Good for you! So many live out there and make no effort to speak the language, let alone read and write it. You're my kind of people!=)
Great start on your Kanji journey! It is so much fun to hunt for known characters, and as you know there are lots of signs, billboards and posters everywhere. Keep up the good work!
I remember learning hundreds of Kanji but I'd be hard pushed to write any of them now! I recognised yama, and the symbol for "woman" though not the word. I think I still remember the numbers too, 1-10 anyway. But that's it!
