Hi, Imran,

         As yet I haven't specific plans to study in Japan. I do have 
the desire and some fundamental language skills, as well as a grasp 
of tenji, however acute appraxia resulting from brain damige has 
rendered me unable to recognize the braille characters. However,  I 
am able to successfully input braille on the VoiceNote and computer I 
currently utilize for writing, so my knowledge of the braille code 
remains alive and well. I have a perception problem!
C.once I put a successful closure to
