Quotes

  • Marina Zalahas quoted8 years ago
    Touching another person is not normal in Japan and can make people feel very uncomfortable. Public displays of affection are considered inappropriate and very uncool - even between married couples
  • Marina Zalahas quoted8 years ago
    English speaking Japanese people are not common, but if you do have an encounter with somebody who speaks English, keep what you say clear, slow and simple so that they can understand you more easily.
  • Marina Zalahas quoted8 years ago
    Drinking and driving can be a 1 million yen fine and/or a year or two in jail. The alcohol limit is ZERO.
