LordAmeth, you wrote you did not know the Japanese month. Do you mean you don't know the month at all, or you don't know in the Japanese calendar? If the latter, what kind of dates are these that you wrote? Are they all, including the Japanese and Russian, the Gregorian calendar? If so, what is 1853/2/29?--Bethetsu 00:21, 20 January 2008 (PST)
