Smile Are US nintendo DS games compatible with UK nintendo DS's ?

Im going to america in about a week and was just wondering if I can buy an american ds and play UK games on it, and also buy american DS games to play on a UK ds ?
It would be very useful as my girlfriend has a ds and then I can get cheap games for her one, but still use my DS over here if I decide to buy one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Gav

Yes, you can buy games from anywhere in the world and they will work with any DS in the world - its region free just like the PSP is for games.
