    • Don't take any crap from the Japanese. They have lived shoulder to shoulder for so long that bumping into others or pushing their way onto a train or bus is acceptable. Unless you want to be left standing on the platform learn to shove right along with the rest of them. Also, if you happen to have to stand in line for something, hold your ground, older Japanese women are notorious for blatantly cutting in front of anyone without a care. Lastly, carry some napkins or a small towel. Japanese eateries either don't have napkins or provide small tissue thin ones.
