18. I think the one thing Asia has in common is the word tea.

In Japan, green tea is known as Ocha. (O' makes it honorable, so the honorable tea) Teas from China in Japan are called Kocha. Mostly brown teas. I believe in Korea and China tea is know simple as Cha. For example, Oolong cha. Pu Erh Cha. In India you have Chai...which kinda looks like Cha...with an "i" at the end. In Vietnamese...Tea is trà and Che.. which looks like Cha. In Thailand the word for tea is also Cha. In Cambodian, the word for tea ..is simply Te. In Tiebet the word for tea is ja..which looks like Cha. In Laos the word for tea is Saa...which again sounds a bit like Cha. In Bangladesh the word for tea is Cha.
