Confused OR lack of general knowledge ? The World cup hosted by and between Japan & Korea in 2002 Japanese officials were bewildered by English football fans sporting the George cross painted on their faces and producing British passports at immigration . The first batch off the planes were all held on suspicion of having false passports . The reason ? Football fans should have the union jack painted on their face .

Possibly lack of knowledge? I know when she went to school, Japanese kids would not have been taught about Ireland. But she eventually travelled around the world before coming to Ireland for a few years. One of our friends in Tokyo was well aware of Ireland - because of the Guinness. Herself and the wife visited about 8 pubs in 2 days to sample the black stuff, a year or two back

Not to worry , many of my extended family ,the younger ones and some of the adults often ask when we meet up for a pint . "How long are you home for and when are you going back to China" About two weeks ago I was asked to say something in Chinese . I did ....... "Who Flung Dung" and the response was " yeah we know that one .. isn't he the Emperor .
