Hello Elham and all others, If it's you and your hubby who're planning to travel to Japan(instead of the author of the book...I'm not sure which part you quoted from the author),I'd recommend you to log on this website for detailed insights into its etiquettes,culture and people.
I've read some parts of the "alerts" it provided,and I must say it's amazingly accurate for those who have no ideas how they should behave there in public while on business or on holidays. This site also provides the same info for countries like Brazil,Australia,China,Russia,India,USA,and etc.Quite a few business students of mine are benefiting from it right now. http://www.executiveplanet.com Tell me if you find them practical or useless,please.I do need this important feedback for further research. Thank you all!
