You know sometimes when you try to grab a piece of food and it just keeps slipping away? Can't think of an example but its those 'slippery' food. It 'runs' away from you when you try to grab it with your chopsticks.Originally Posted by blue_rebel

Here are some tips if your traveling to Japan(Originally from Anime Insider)
Tokyo No-Nos
How to be a jerk in Japan(putting it simple, don't do this)
Playing With Your Food
If you even bother to learn how to use chopsticks, stick them straight up in your rice. When the locals around you look horrified, congratulations--you've just made a funeral offering in the middle of a restaurant.
Show Everyone Your Snot
If you've picked up a nasty cold from wandering around Akihabara in the rain, go ahead and blow your nosein the middle of the street. After all, why wouldn't everyone standing next to you want to hear all the goo in your nose come rocketing out?
Fall Into The Toilet
The Japanese idea of public facilities--the "traditional" toilet--is pretty much just a hole in the ground. So to be a true American hero, complain about it and then fall in because your leg muscles can't hold you up. That'll be a good time.
Abuse Your Cell Phone
Completly ignore any keitai (phone) etiquette you may have picked up in the States--especially on the train, which the Japanese treat almost like a shrine--and just blah away.
Show Off Your Tattoos
Nothing screams Yakuza--the Japanese mafia--like bared tattos. And as you know from all the samurai flicks you've seen, everyone loves the Yakuza! So the first time you go to an onsen (hot spring bath), show those babies off.
That its all the tips from Anime Insider(issue #34). Good Luck
I'll make sure to keep that in mind if I ever find myself in Japan.
92% of teens moved on to rap music.If you're part of the 8% that rock out everyday, put this in your sig
people in japan generally dont have a problem squatting on the traditional style hole_in_the_ground toilet, but they do have a different idea of modesty.
my boyfriend and i were staying in a hotel in japan and he went to use the restroom in the lobby before we hit the town and there was some old japanese man squatting and doing his business right there with the door to the stall wide open.
tips for japanese staying in america:
please close the door...
