The word ouji for example has over 20 different meanings, consisting of a ton of different kanji corresponding to the pronounciations "ou" and "ji".

王　ou = king, 子　ji = child　-> prince
欧　ou = alphabet, 字　ji = letter -> roman letter
往　ou = long before,　時 ji = period -> ancient times
etc.

You just have to know what kanji is meant or try to figure it out from the context.

So not my cup of tea!

But I still find it interesting.

Looks complicated

The truly interesting thing is that those words are pronounced differently when they're not in that combination ^^
e.g.
子　child = ko
時　time = toki
字 letter = azana
往 long ago = inishi

I would never properly learn Japanese, it seems so difficult and complicated...

I think it's considered one of the most complicated languages of the world. I just love it though, it's fascinating

Yeah I understand why. And it is!

I can imagine!

And I thought Luxemburgish was complicated, due to its mixture of German with French influence. But Japanese? That's complicated! Especially since their, er, alphabet or writing is so different from ours! Not to mention my eyesight!

Well not everything of course but you know. I'm weird I know, I have to know everything before and I'm that kind of organized. I'm not very spontaneous.

You are aware that the running order is subjected to changes? Best wait for the (semi) definive version. But that'll be ready just before I go.

Yeah I'm just looking at what I would like to see, not looking at what I would be able to see, depending to the schedule, yet.
