| Yo Kaneda, It doesn't matter if your English is bad, At least everyone can understand what you're saying. I'm not so good in English myself, I'm dutch. But I think there's not one here who matters where you are from. It's all about what you say, not if it is good spelled or bad spelled. It's about the point your making. |

| 70.000 Yen?! Doesn�t that mean, that these are 700 US-Dollars?! This would be a lot of money for just one month, but i don�t know if it really is 700$. It isn�t, right? Something else: 1.5mbps are 150 kbps, right? |
