Greetings
To greet the Japanese small inclinations, using it as a sign of respect, and thus avoid physical contact. There are different types of bows as the “degree” to consider that you have. There are slopes of 15, 45 and 90 degrees, the latter dedicated to the great ceremonies. In restaurants, hotels, entering an elevator, so everyone will address you with a little bow before you begin speaking. It is considered impolite not to respond to a bow. When you see a Japanese person talking on the phone, you will see that continue to make these inclinations but not to see!. I have so assumed that more than a gesture of education makes them look like little automatons. According to a study conducted in Japan a few years ago, a lift of any office building or department stores, bowed his head half of 2500 times a day!
Food not use chopsticks as our “sticks.”
That is, ever fucking food with them as if he were a fork. Westerners usually do not know how to use them, causing laughter in the Nipponese. You can always ask for a fork. Do not leave chopsticks stuck in your bowl of rice, their meanings are: death. It normal when you sit in a restaurant before eating, you’re offered a wet towel to wipe your hands. It is considered rude to eat in the street while you walk. If you want them to use a park for do so. The Japanese Often
Contribute a better translation make enough noise when literally slurp their noodles with chopsticks. It is considered rude.
Metro
Normally the Japanese are not friendly people, and your western features create some nervousness among the passengers. If you notice that people get away from you, do not worry. Think you’re “bothering” their “chi”, a kind of energy that makes them stay calm and serenity. Is considered rude to directly observe what they do or read others while traveling by subway, so try to conceal, but Japanese comic. The see situations quite removed the sound of their phones while traveling underground. If your phone ring by chance, you will notice hundreds of closed eyes that pierced you. Tend to spend their time on the subway to send messages or emails through the phone. There are areas in airports and stations where you can talk freely mobile.
Tipping in Japan
Required or expected to give a tip. If you leave a few coins in the tray of change, you’ve probably think forgotten. When ask the account, deposit the bill in a tray or basket, where you have to leave the money. The Japanese avoid physical contact, so try not to give the money in hand.
The Japanese public toilets
Have incorporated new technologies into all aspects of your life. The toilets are a good example. They have several buttons: cold water, hot water, cold steam, hot steam. Some even incorporate a button with a picture of a loudspeaker is designed especially when your requirements can produce “noise” that are troublesome to others who are in the toilet or make you feel ashamed of yourself., A relief for the timid. They often lack toilet paper, so I recommend you always carry Kleenex with you if you want a more Western clean. As for the restrooms, there are strict rules that must be met
