#12 -- Japanese people can pronounce the letter R. Let's see what Japanese words can I think of off the top of my head with the letter R... Samurai, Ronin, Hiroshima, Sayonara, Karate, Gojira (Godzilla's real name), Hiri Kiri, Atari, Shinto Kanamara Matsuri (the Fertility Festival named in #20), Hikikomori (#25).

The Japanese have trouble with the letter L, of which "Donald McDonald" has two.

Here (http://imgur.com/XiSZ3Jm.jpg) is an image of the Japanese phonetic alphabet. You will notice the third column from the left is the letter R.

#5 Isn't strictly true. Masabumi Hosono was labled a coward in a sensationist article published in 1997 after the release of Titanic the movie, long after he was dead. He was never considered thus in his life.

Sleeping on the job in Japan is seen as acceptable because it is a sign of working hard. Some companies even allow employees to take 30-­minute siestas any time between 1pm and 4pm. This practice is called inemuri and "is considered the preserve of employees exhausted by their commitment to hard work, rather than a sign of indolence".
