British Ex-Pat Offers a Handy Etiquette List of Things Not to Do While Visiting Japan
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#3BBM2)
In a rather helpful episode of his video series "Abroad in Japan", British expatriate and teacher Chris Broad, offers some very important tips regarding Japanese etiquette, specifically what not to do while visiting Japan. Subjects include eating/drinking while walking, chopstick manners, tipping, transit mindfulness amongst several others.
I actually did most of my reading about Japanese etiquette on the horrific 12-hour flight between London and Tokyo and I've pretty much just winged it ever since. In hindsight there are lot of things I know now that I would have done well to comprehend before I got here so today I've taken five years of experience in the field and compiled it into this list of 12 things not to do in Japan.
