We could go further and say that it also depends on what the numbers represent.

BUT! We shall not.

The thing I find quite funny is that I totally suck with people, but still be able to "read personalities". Being able to know someone by seeing is a skill gained by extensive interaction with people, and in some cases, natural ability. But I don't think that accounts to a majority of the world population. Or maybe my cousin is just too easy to read, or I pay specific attention to her because she's too cute.

The "ghost-seeing" thing is quite funny though because only yesterday did I know that one of my great-grand relatives is a well-known bomoh (witch doctor) in Northern Malaysia. Supposedly that all of his descendants can intuitively feel to a certain extent of these stuff, but seeing is a random limited edition bonus to those who carry his gene.

There are a few variations in terms and such, otherwise it is the same. And yes, my mother knows BOTH and is able to tell the difference. Wtf.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

You mean every MAJOR Chinese dialect. I seriously doubt she knew Gan, Hui or Jin.

Actually, "Bahasa" just means "language" so, on its own, it's not immediately obvious which language you're referring to. But it's usually clear in context, that is, Bahasa to Malays in in Singapore or Malaysia usually means Bahasa Melayu.

And I'm not sure to what extent Indonesians would consider themselves "Malay". It's a huge nation made up of many ethnic groups, and "Malay" has come to refer specifically to the indigenous people of the Malayan peninsular (and by extension the indigenous people of Sarawak and Sabah states on Borneo island). It used to be a touchy subject, inflamed by nationalist sentiments, but it's no longer as big an issue today.

The very idea of Indonesia as one entity is also nonsense. The different islands have their own customs and language, and many do resent the Javanese central government interfering in those aspects.

Where can I find a link to a video I saw a few months ago that was a screen capture of facebook chat about a guy and a girl talking with each other, but each keeps editing their comments so it would seem not as "relationship-y"? You can tell they like each other but are afraid, and the conversation ends up "normal." I think the title is something like "almost conversation," but a search for that turns back nothing.

haha, not sure if this is how you're supposed to use this thread.. feel free to delete if it isn't right.

Ok here is a really silly question.

What is the difference between a Fauchard, a Bastard Sword, a Longsword, and a two-handed sword?

I need details....

The Fauchard is a pole-arm weapon with a curved blade fixed atop a 2m pole. The other types are all different variants of the long sword, tho I don't know what the exact difference between them is specifically.

AFAIK the the two handed sword is not really a specific sword but a distinction made for a sword requiring two hands to wield. A long sword classifies as anything a little more than one meter in length and can be wielded with one or both hands. A bastard sword IIRC is classified as a two hander reaching about 1.5 meters and has a wider blade.

A Fauchard is basically the equivalent of the Japanese Naginata and the Chinese YuanYue Dao.

Just throwing it in..


I want to know, what are some good conditions to get a job in Japan.

Im not talking about VISA or something, what im talking about is a college graduation, job training or something.

A friend of mine is, like me from Germany. In Germany, we have besides the college, the job training, where young people learn in job and special schools, to learn to do jobs, as for example technical product designer, mechanic, electrican or cook.


We would like to know, cause i cant find this very information on the internet, whats a good condition to get a job in Japan.

I can imagen, that, with the college graduations, the chances might be not bad, so what about the people with a gradiation of an job training? Do Japanese know this kind of graduation?
