I know it's a different language, but when written, is it the same and everyone can understand it? Or you mean that Kanji are Chinese "letters" but still it is written in Japanese? It's kind of confusing hehe. If you reply, go ahead and do it in this blog, it's the one I am going to check and well I will assume that there will be no answers on the others so I don't go crazy looking for them haha, and from now on, I will just comment on the newest blogs so it is easier for me to find them. Btw! Can I have that password to check out the new video? ^_^ So people in Japan can read Kanji that comes from China?

There are anywhere from 40,000-80,000 different kanji (of which only about 2000 are commonly used), while hiragana about 40.

Japanese people really embrace technology in many ways Americans don\'t. If you stick around, I plan on posting a video this weekend of the new apartment - it has one really cool piece of technology that you don\'t wanna miss!!!
