The most confusing thing to do in Japan is to take any of the English you read here literally.
Though speaking of christians, memetics, viruses and Japan, nothing can compare to - and I kid you not, this is a true story - the Japanese Jehovah's Witnesses who came to our door on Christmas Eve when we lived in Fukuma last.
