  Not being well-versed in Japanese history, I wonder if these sorts of stabbings - random and done by crazed men - ever happened in the past (not even the distant past but say, in the last 100 years or so.) And if so, how many?

  I believe kanji are more like Chinese characters just as alphabets.

  taiko666- scan of any IT jobs on offer in U.K. will reveal that fluent English is normally required, except for some non-U.K. companies. Outside U.K., non-fluent Japanese speakers are often found in Japanese speaking companies (well, in Japanese companies at least.) My experience is in IT, and I've known dozens…

  Let's face the facts. LOL.
