Love scammers and visa-hunters use sites like this one a lot. They are trying to forge a relationship with their victim, and it's a lot cheaper (and more anonymous) than sending real cards.

Welcome, fellow noob BaKa!

I'm guessing your nick is taken from the WW2 Japanese rocket plane? If so, don't worry...I'll never tell 'em what it means. Wink

Like 'no one here' constantly searches/surfs the internet Laughing

Only took two words on search to get that answer Very Happy

rockets (model 11) or jet engine (model 22)?
Or it could be anime or manga related
Or (less probability): a neighbourhood of Jerusalem, Israel; or Baka Pygmies (Cameroon, Central Africa);

BaKa, Hello and welcome to the insanity of 419eater .
