Every time when I read Japanese (Nihongo) I feel very funny when I read words like "butsu" . Becuase "butsu" in Japanese means tale but in Chinese it does not make sense at all.
Once my father (who does not know Chinese at all) ask me what the heck is that Wu Yu ("butsu" )mean, I told him it is not Chinese. Then he say, "But it is Chinese(Kanji) right?" I almost laugh til my stomach was about to burst!
