Googled it and came up with this as an explantion of it, may be Tao

"Immigrants try either to maintain their native beliefs or to adopt the beliefs of their host country. The first option is difficult: They are in a culture incompatible with their native beliefs and will sustain their spirituality only if it was already strongly established. In the second case, where immigrants adopt the host country's spirituality, they must learn an entirely new system. In either case Immigrants must cope with the problems of conflict between two cultures, until they reach a spiritual stage where cultural references become meaningless."

To keep on topic, I think Kong was trying to maintain his native beliefs, as many of us do for some time...

Is everyone bored shitless or something?

Right now I can see three threads dedicated basically to whether or not Kong is a twat or not.

What is this bollox?
