Japanese chess

Shogi - Japanese chess. Haven't played, just observed. There is a 9 times 9 grid, while chess has 8 times 8. Probably because Japanese don't like odd numbers. (When you give a money as a gift for the wedding, you should never give an odd multiple of 1000 Yen!)

Tina, tale tvoj blog je super. O Japonski sem se naučil več kot prej v celem lajfu. Upam, da se boš po Tokiju odpravila še v Indijo ali mogoče v Amazonijo ;-) Mej se!

Zivjo Bojan!!! Me veseli, da ti je vsec. Indija in Amazonija se ne, kmalu pa Avstralija. Ampak tam ne bo tako eksoticno.

Mateja: Ja, verjetno bi mu bilo vsec, baje je precej podobno sahu. Korejci imajo pa spet svojo verzijo.
