Put 'Japanese! in the title so that it will attract the notice of any Japanese speakers.

Hello bluechrome100,

Both suggestions are good, I have budged it over the armed forces section for you.

Topics can be easily moved.

Regards

Sarah :)

My knowledge of Hawarden was just as bad.

Hawarden, town, historic and present county of Flintshire (Sir Fflint), northeastern Wales. It is situated just southwest of the River Dee and 7 miles (11 km) west of the city of Chester, England.
