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. Malay. There are two forms in SEA, namely Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu (Malaysia). 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.

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.

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?
