	I'm confused about the "In Asia, done left-to-right" clue... Because we do that left-to-right in English and depending on the language, it may be done differently (Hebrew and any language that uses the Arabic script, like Arabic, Farsi, Urdu--all are done right-to-left; Mongolian and Chinese were both traditionally top-to-bottom... just to name a few exceptions to your "In Asia").

	Wait, some Japanese restaurants offer sake as a take-out item?

	In all Indian languages, reading is done left to right just like in European languages. Using "Asia" is much too ambiguous.

	Changing it from left-to-right to right-to-left doesn't help either. Other languages in Asia are still READ in other directions. You need to revamp the clue entirely and get rid of the idea of direction altogether or specify, "In Japan(ese), this is done left-to-right". No matter how you say it, using "In Asia" is going to make it wrong because not every language in Asia uses the same writing systems nor the same direction.
