Some stuff, for whatever is reason, is exactly backwards in Japan (compared to America!) Like the emergency hotline: here in the US, we would dial 911. There? Oh yeah, totally 119. Black and white photos? Are shirokuro (white-black). I can't think of the word for it, but I'm pretty sure that ladies and gentlemen was also reversed. And lots more!
So! I found more proof. Just a little video showing how backwards the society can be!
Check out the proof here.
