    CUSTOMS
    Lourdes Semerena
    GREETINGS
     There are different ways to greet each other in Japan. Mostly a bow
    is used. It indicates respect for the other person and it is impolite
    not to use it.
    FOOD & DRINKS
     In Japan it is customary to eat sushi, tempura, Onigiri and ramen. It
    is also common to drink green tea or sake...
    CLOTHING

     In Japan, traditional
    clothes are still used
    to this day. For
    example:
    1. Yukata/kimono
    2. Obi
    3. Geta
    TABLE MANNERS
    In Japan, you have to wait for everyone to have their
    food before you start eating. When someone is in charge
    of serving others, he cannot serve himself. When
    finishing serving, a Japanese always stays at the end
    waiting for someone to serve him last.
    BEHAVIOR
     It is a Japanese custom to remove shoes before stepping
    on the floor of houses. This is because the Japanese
    believe that when they arrive at a house they carry bad
    vibrations from the outside in their shoes and,
    therefore, they take off the shoes they wear outside.
    Inside the house special sandals are worn.
