No matter who you go to your home, you must bring gifts. In Japan, when you are invited to someone else's home, you will bring gifts to the host's home according to custom. In Japan, if you are invited to someone's home with a gift carefully wrapped in wrapping paper and ribbons, it is very popular. Also, never refuse when others give you gifts. However, it is customary to refuse at the beginning, which is considered a manifestation of "politeness".

[Japan Fun Bald Tug-of-War] Recently, the "First Sucker Tug-of-War National Competition" to compete for the "First Bald in the Country" was held in Tsuruda Town, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. A total of 30 bald people of all ages, from elementary school students to 97 years old, participated in the competition. The contestants put suction cups on their bald heads that they are proud of, and connected the suction cups with ropes for tug-of-war. The atmosphere of the competition was lively.

According to reports, the event is hosted by the "Tsura Bald Club" with the slogan "Bald heads illuminate the world" and has been held about twice a year since 1989. This event was upgraded to a national competition in order to make Tsuruda Town a "bald shrine".

When visiting Japan, if you don't know Japanese, I recommend big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, where Chinese is spoken in various cities. Anime fans go to Akihabara, if they specialize in watching comics exhibitions, go to Tokyo. Go to Osaka or Yokohama and Harajuku for food. Go to Kanagawa or Okinawa, Hokkaido and Kakujima to see the scenery. Go to Sendai to miss the Chinese Dynasty. Those who like retro culture can go to Nara, Kyoto, and Kamakura. I went to Ueno to watch cherry blossoms (not far south of Akihabara).

There are actually not many crazy people in Japan, even fewer than in China. At least my relatives have not seen one in Japan for several years. Everyone generally believes that Japan is very sexy. To put it most realistically, we in China are foreigners, while Japan is boring. There is also a relatively concentrated concentration of Japanese cute girls in high school.

Japanese novels are viewed from right to left on one side, and the words are arranged vertically. Japan does not watch anime for free like we in China. They have to pay a fee. Japan is very strict in cracking down on piracy, and watching a new anime takes about 3,000 to 8,000 yen per episode.(1 yen =0.0560 RMB)

rumored that Japanese people used to wear bathrobes to pop, and according to traditional Japanese women were not allowed to wear underwear when wearing kimono. In fact, this was all fake. Underpants were not impossible but unwilling to wear, because bathrobes were clothes that were easily worn after taking a bath in summer. No one wore underwear at that time.

Japan's four major cities, in turn Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya. Tokyo has the highest consumption, Nagoya may be haunted by buying a house, Osaka people are the most enthusiastic, and snacks are also the most famous. The average monthly consumption in Tokyo is about 200,000 - 300,000 yen, and the average monthly rent is 60,000 yen.

There are many egg-twisting machines in Japan. The fee is put in and a ball will be rolled out randomly. When opened, there will be various anime surrounding dolls. The price is about 100 yen to 400 yen at a time and may be higher. When you go to play, you can basically see a group of Japanese people who are enjoying themselves constantly coin coins to collect the complete set of egg-twisting machines.

Japanese people do not have heating in winter. Generally, every family has a quilt stove (). The top is covered with a thick quilt and there is an electric heating device under it. When eating, you can warm it down if you feel cold, but you can't sleep in it or you will catch a cold.

The

is in Europe, and 13 is considered an unlucky number. Some hotels and buildings do not have a 13th floor. Also in Japan, the number "4" that reminds people of "death" is also an unlucky number, and the number "49" is also avoided because it reminds people of "pain to death". Since gifts related to "4" are also unlucky, they should be avoided as much as possible. Moreover, the habit of avoiding "4" exists not only in Japan, but also in China and South Korea. This is called "4 phobia."

It is impolite to blow your nose in front of the public. Blowing your nose in many people in public is not only impolite, but is also regarded as a "disgusting" behavior. When they want to blow their noses, Japanese people will sniff quickly until they find a more private place. If your nose is running out in front of the Japanese people but no measures are taken, it is best to blow your nose as quietly as possible. In addition, the act of blowing your nose with a handkerchief is also unacceptable in Japan and requires attention.

Eating while walking is "indecent" In Europe, no one would mind anyone eating while walking on the road, but in Japan it would be considered indecent. In addition, many Japanese people think it is impolite to eat on the tram. However, there is an "exception" to this Japanese etiquette. I don't know why it is okay to eat ice cream while walking.

The occupation of pushing passengers into crowded trams-"Pushers" At Japanese stations during rush hour, people wearing uniforms and white gloves can be seen engaging in what is known as "Pushers". Their job, literally, is to squeeze passengers into crowded trams and make sure no one is caught in the door, so as to get paid.

Sleep on the shoulders of strangers in the tram Because Japanese commuting and working hours are scary, many people sleep in the tram, and some of them, regardless of men and women, sleep on the shoulders of the people next to them. Although the degree of tolerance for this kind of behavior varies from person to person, it is customary that people whose shoulders are leaned on will only endure it. "This happens all the time," Mr. Sandra Baron, operator of Japandra, a website that spreads Japanese culture, said on CNN.

can't pour yourself a drink. In many countries in the world, there is the habit of pouring a drink into other people's empty cups first and then pouring into your own cup, but in Japan, you should not consider "pouring yourself a drink." Pour drinks for people around you when their cups are empty. If it goes well, others will notice your empty cup and pour you tea. In addition, when you start drinking, wait for someone to say "Cheers" first.

It is not rude to suck noodles. In Japan, the act of sucking noodles loudly is not regarded as "indecent", but rather an act of "eating happily." If you eat ramen without saying a word, you may be mistaken for "it doesn't taste good." In addition, since Japanese ramen are served hot and steaming, we must also find measures not to burn the tongue when "sucking and eating ramen". However, although you have to make a sound, it is rude to "burp" while eating, and you should be careful.
