Japanese

<p>
	The particles <strong>に</strong> and <strong>へ</strong> are used to indicate movement towards a destination.
	In the case of movement towards a destination, the particles can be used interchangeably.

<p>
	In Japanese, whether you use <strong>行く</strong> or <strong>来る</strong> depends on the viewpoint of the speaker.
	If there is movement towards the speaker, you use <strong>来る</strong> and if there is movement away from the speaker, you use <strong>行く</strong>.
	This explains the sentence below, which sounds unintuitive to English speakers.
