As I have never formally studied Japanese here or at home, living in Japan these past 5 years have naturally led me to acquire some of the [...]
It’s not so long ago that science fiction movies showed such an outrageously modern instrument as a video phone. I remember thinking how cool it would be to see the person that you were talking to, especially if you didn’t know them. How brilliant to put a face to the name. Then a company called [...]
