   mmmmmmmmhhehehehehehehahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I submited my first drafts for the JET thingy...the embassy person was so impressed!!!(Though I thought my drawings sucked...)
I just have to work on the noodle slurpping etiquette and in addition I got 2 more tasks to do!!! te-he^-^
now for the bad news...piano...
I've memorized my piece, but everytime play my piece at my teacher's house, I play horribly!! >_
Here's some more Japanese manners and etiquette...and it you didn't see the other japanese manners and etiquette look at the previous post...it's very interesting!^o^

-Thou shalt NOT BE LATE for appointments.
-There is no custom of "Ladies First". (I've always hated that "Ladies First" thing >_ -Avoid excessive physical and eye contact--forget the back-slapping,
prodding, and pointing directly at someone with your finger (use
your hand to point, if you must).
-Japanese often use silence for communication as much as speaking.(example: At a meeting and someone is presenting, a japanese person might close their eyes and look as if they're sleeping, but they're not...it's the way they process things into their mind...)
-Do not chew gum when working or in other formal situations.(At my uncle's wedding, almost everyone was chewing gum!lol^o^ I was in da Philippines...)
-When Japanese start work at 9 AM, they START WORK at 9 AM.
-Avoid lots of jewelry or very colorful clothes when going to work.
-White-collar Japanese typically leave the office only after their superiors have done so. Do not expect someone to be instantly free once the official business hours are over.
-Exchanging business cards is de rigueur in formal introductions. You should extend your card to the other person with both hands, right side up to them (upside down to you). You receive cards with both hands also. Be sure to look at the card and not just pocket it. Never put it in your pants pocket and sit on it in front of them.
-It is polite to put "-san" after anothers name, or "-chan" after a young girls name, or "-kun" after a boy's name, but NEVER use these after your own.
-Do not scream about why nobody speaks English, why there aren't
5 different varieties of a product you want, or why workplaces or
restaurants are filled with chain-smokers. The "health thing" is
not big here yet.
-Avoid shouting loudly at someone to get their attention--wave, or go up to them.
-If you have to blow your nose, leave the room, or at the very least try to face away
from other people--and use a tissue--not a handkerchief!
-Don't wear tattered clothes outside, nor socks with holes when visiting someone.
-On escalators, stay on the left side if you plan to just stand and not climb them.
-Japan has no tradition of making sarcastic remarks to make a point,
nor "Bronx cheers" or "the Finger" -- avoid using them.
