A funny (to us) reason for Japanese banking failure.

Weird as this may seem, I heard on the radio, today, of a
Chinese belief (It was mentioned that Japan has similar)

"Feng Shui" (pronounced - FUNG SHWAY)

Was just broadcast on the sci-fi channel (on satellite TV) as well.

Too coincidental for me to avoid mentioning, that you might amuse
yourself by reading:
fengshui.org

On the radio they said the head of a Japanese bank in failure
was asked "What is the cause of the failure?"

And his wide eyed reply was - "Feng Shui!"

Whatever.

They think differently than us, don't they?

Perhaps some Japanese reason (similarly odd to us) caused them
to offer outlandishly high prices when they began buying our
land and businesses in great earnest a few years ago.

Just for fun, any takers?
Who can figure?
Might this really be serious stuff to them?
