What would you do if you are a Japanese?

1. Never pour a drink yourself but allow someone else to do it for you.

2. Let the host order the meal and pay.

3. Start dinner by saying "itadakimasu". 

4. Slurp noodles. REALLY. Don't get me wrong, it is alright because it exhibits enjoyment of food. 

5. Say "Gochisousama" after dinner.     

6. Be late on social events. Do not be shock. It is a custom to be "fashionably late" although Japanese tend to be punctual on business events. 

7. Avoid wrapping presents in white colour as it symbols death. Normally, you will hand a gift at the end of a visit. When receiving or giving a present, you would use both hands in showing respect and appreciation.

8. Have a great time having fun. When one is confused about what to do, Japanese just watch and try to mimic what everyone else is doing. It is a truly unique Japanese experience and sometimes the best way to learn is to imitate. It might be really fun, don't you think?
