When Travelling In Japan.....

Slurping your noodles is polite in Japan .

You do not have to raise your hand to stop a bus.

You do not have to wait at a stop to catch a bus.

You do not have to use chopsticks in a restaurant.

They will bring you a knife and fork if necessary.

Because they are not accustomed to foreigners, everyone may come to look at you if you go to the countryside.

Japanese people peel and eat fruit, so that may surprise you.

Japanese people wear masks on the bus or in the train so that they are not affected by the air pollution.

In Japan, you will hear an announcement apologising at a station if a train is being delayed by just 5 minutes!
