| I don't think so. Maybe "Go back a step" is much better. "Go back to the former stance" is possible but different meaning, IMO. |

Yep, I think you are right. I was just wondering, because in my mother tongue, it sort of work. :D
39!

| How do you know "39" = "thank you", Cantik? I am really curious about it! |

Hi Alan,
I was just telling Haihao that I know what 39 (pronounced "Sankyu" in Japanese, meaning thank you) means because I live in Japan. And he was curious about Zippon, and I was telling him, by providing the link, that was how the ancient Chinese call Japan.
Best wishes,
Cantik

Actually I didn't know that, what a shame, :( and I had a misknowledge about it thinking it was Jippon until now.
Best regards,

I'm not so sure about that, Haihao. I think it is just another spelling, I also thought it was Jippon before. Plus, we don't know whether this source is reliable or not.

| One thing for sure that Japon is the Senpai (predecessor) of Japan. |
