i didn't think polar bears and penguins lived in the same place, except the zoo.

For the win! Polar bears live in the Arctic, Penguins in the Anarctic.

They are definitely NOT vegetarians Alphafrog. In fact they're really the only bear that's completely carnivorous. Not a lot of vegetation up north. And they do swim, just not as well as penguins

That only leaves this one unanswered:

Rice doesn't grow in Japan?

[Drolefille]

Nope.

Hint: The question is not- "Why does a Chinese man eat more rice than a Japanese man"

[AlphaFrog]

Ohhhhh...

Because Chinese men don't eat Japanese men. At least I hope not.
