1. When the real rush of students, scientists and businessmen
started to visit here from the PRC in the 1980s, all the ones I meant were very curious about the dominant religion here. I had to tell them I couldn't help them out, I was not a believer.

I'm not surprised, then, that the same curiosity is driving the sales of bibles there. I'd expect it.

I just don't expect too many of them to buy bull, just the bible.
