TIL that people who can read Chinese can actually read a lot of Japanese as long as it’s written in hanzi/kanji.

I had caught on to the fact that you can decipher some Japanese place names if you know a few hanzi, the best example being Beijing/Nanjing/Dongjing (Tokyo):

Fitting name... Sophia Urista.
