You will notice the perfect combination of tradition and modernity in Japan most obvious when entering a Japanese bathroom. These toilets will be able to heat the seats and can also play music.

Note that you are the right way to go to the toilet to turn to the front of the toilet, always carrying paper bags because on the train and public bathrooms often do not leave paper for users in the bathroom.

You should learn the basic body language

If you do not set a plan to learn basic words in Japanese, consider expressing expression in gesture language. When someone pointed to their nose, they are talking about themselves, but when pointing to an object or others, they are considered impolite. An entrepreneur passing a crowd with his hand on his chest, which means he wants to go out of that crowd. If you want to tell you to the waiter who has called enough drinks and food, wave in front of the nose like when you are dispelling an unpleasant smell.
