---Spoiler Alert! Do not continue reading unless you have already recieved the book, "Hound of the Baskervilles". :-) ---

I'm leaving Shanghai in a few days, and I want to take home the book I mentioned. However, I can't find the word "hello" in Japanese ANYWHERE. I tried SO many things, and I still cant get it.

Maybe it's not exactly a newbie question, but what in the world is "hello" in Japanese? :-)

Thanks very much!

And, top, believe it or not, I couldn't get anything! Apparently, "hello" doesn't translate into Japanese. It would be more like good morning or something, so I tried everything. :-)

Hi :D

An approximate translation would be 'ohayo', but that literally means good morning.
