I1ve been to =a"an lots of times be!ause my father worked there. I remember the first time I went there. I
was twelve and I went with my "arents. -y dad1s friend in =a"an had a daughter !alled -ayumi. 2he was the
same age as I was. 7ur "arents de!ided we !ould s"end some time together. *s soon as we met, I tried to
shake her hand but she smiled and, with her hands together and her ba!k very straight, she moved the to"
"art of her body towards me. J&his is a bowK, she e("lained in her sim"le 'nglish. JIn =a"an we don1t shake
hands or kiss as you do in 'uro"e or *meri!a.K I learned my lesson and I started bowing to everybody I met.
&he same day we went sho""ing and I made another mistake. I gave the sho" assistant the money. JNo,
no,K said -ayumi, Jyou shouldn1t do that. 5ut the money in that little bowl and the sho" assistant will take it
from there.K
J,ut why@K I asked, very sur"rised.
J,e!ause we think it1s rude.K she e("lained.
'ating was very different too. &he =a"anese eat their food with !ho"sti!ks ; wooden sti!ks. -ayumi taught
me how to use them. It took me a long time to learn. 7n our last day in =a"an, I tried to give -ayumi some of
my fish for her to try.
JYou shouldn1t do that.K she said, Jit1s e(tremely rude. If you want me to taste some of your food, you should
"ut it here, on this !lean "late. I will take it from there.K
I was very embarrassed. I often taste my friends1 food when we go out to restaurants and it seemed a ni!e
thing to do.
Now I1m %$ and often travel for my work. I still learn something when I visit a new !ountry. &hat is why
travelling is so interesting and e(!iting.
