everything i've heard makes me think that esperanto is very popular in both 
china and japan.  there doesn't seem to be much baggage inhibiting them.  

i found esperanto to be very easy.  i find lojban to be very hard to learn, 
especially the vocabulary.  my opinion is still that all language groups will 
find lojban equally DIFFICULT to learn.
