Japan, parts

We continue to explore Japan. Today I want to share some of my observations. Of course, I do not claim to ultimate truth, it's just my personal observation. You've probably heard that in Japan tipping. Most tips are included in the bill. Several times I tried to give money, was misunderstood. Many cafes and restaurants have to pay at the exit at the box office. You sit yourself this, pull the hand by asking, and you say: "We have no servants, go yourself to the cashier and pay at the exit!»

In Japan, real genocide smokers. Outdoor smoking is almost nowhere to be, we must look for special places. But in cafes and restaurants almost everywhere there are areas for smokers. And in Japan, why it is not accepted to share the ashtray.

You can swing your arms, something to tell him, but he did not respond. They say that the Japanese are very experienced, they can not help you and, therefore, pretend not to hear. The same behavior will happen if the Japanese start to take pictures without permission. He did not even look in your direction. "In any unclear situation pretend stone»
