Japan's Info [1]

1. In Japan, the number "4" and "9" out of favor so often there is no room number "4" and "9". "4" is pronounced "shi" sound the same, which means "dead", and that "9" is pronounced "ku", which sounds the same, which means "kurushii / miserable.

2. Japanese people like the number "8". The prices of goods mostly ending in "8". Milk as 198 yen. But because the rule now requires that goods prices are listed should include taxes, so maybe this habit will disappear. (Market = yaoya = writing kanji reads happyaku-yes or store 800).

3. If summer in the TV drama often featured spooky stuff (ghosts).

4. How to read Japanese text there are two styles: the same as the book lettered Roman alphabet letters read from top to bottom, and the second is from the far right column to the left. So that the front and back of the book against the Roman alphabet book (front page is in "the back").

5. Signature in Japan almost never apply for formal purposes, but must use hanko / Inkan / stamp. Type hanko in Japan there are few, a.l. jitsu-in, ginko-in, and mitome-in. So one person sometimes has some kind Inkan, for various purposes. Inkan Jitsu-in is used for purposes that are very important, such as buying a house, buy a car, to be a guarantor, etc.. this type need not be registered to Shiyakusho. Ginko-in is a kind of special Inkan used to create an account in the bank. Inkan is registered at the bank. Mitome-in used for everyday purposes, and not be registered.

6. If we sign, sometimes it will ask the Japanese people: it's reading what? If the Japanese when necessary signature (eg passport, etc..) Generally write their names in kanji, so it can be read clearly. While we usually make abbreviations or graffiti so that can not be copied / read by others.

7. TV show in Japan is dominated by cooking.

8. Copies of Japan's self-service, while in Indonesia, in-service.

9. If you take a taxi in Japan, the door is opened and closed by the driver. Passengers are not allowed to open and close it himself.

10. Ever notice how the Japanese do not count "one", "two", "three" .... with his finger? If you look, there are differences in the habits of Indonesian people. Indonesian people are generally starting hands and fists while counting "one", the finger enforced. Count "two", the middle finger upheld, and so on. If the Japanese, the opposite. They always start from an open palm, and the way to calculate the inverse of Indonesia. When saying "one", then the fingers will bend / is closed to the palm of the hand.

11. Bicycle lift should not be used, except that memboncengkannya over 16 years and diboncengkan children younger than 1 year, and only one man who diboncengkan. If violated, the fine maximum 20 thousand yen. (Equivalent to U.S. $ 2,172,494.70)

12. If riding the escalator in Tokyo, we had to stand on the left, because the right is for people in a hurry. Never stand on the right if we did not immediately go up.

13. Courtship in Japan really frugal, treat-treat is not going Japanese culture. So long as the husband and wife have not finished, prepare the money to pay for their own.

14. Shuttle boyfriend nor the culture of the Japanese. If you want to meet, so meet at the station.

15. Never ever say to the Japanese people: "I maen lu ya home". Because it is not considered polite. To his home only if you've allowed.

16. "Aishiteru" which means I love you, rarely used at the court, unless they really are getting married. Usually they wear "Daisuki desu" for ngungkapin if they care about his girlfriend.

17. Before traveling, usually Japanese people always check the weather forecast. And 90% of the weather forecast is accurate. That's why when people carry umbrellas, we are definitely going to see another person carrying an umbrella as well. And the intersection of Shibuya is the most interesting when it rains, because of the above we will see a sea of colorful umbrellas.

18. The cherry blossoms are a special interest in Japan, because the interest is only growing 2 weeks for a year. When it grows, flowers fill the entire tree without leaves. After 2 weeks, none of the cherry blossoms, only green leaves, without interest, and so not interesting anymore.

19. In Indonesia, we are going to get money if we sell our used items to the store sale. But in Japan, we actually have to pay if you want to put our stuff in the store sale. That is why the Japanese prefer to leave their old TV so the move would aja apartment.

20. In Kyoto intersection, the intersection is small, no car at all, but there is a red light, pedestrians always stop when the pedestrian signal lights showing red. They relaxed aja, reading newspapers, chatting, smoking, and then the road again when the light is green. Though there are no cars passing one. Maybe if they violate the rules will not get hurt.

21. They do not believe in God (the majority of atheists), but they can be disciplined and obey the same rules. Maybe because it's their country forward. ^ ^

22. Japan is at the porn to 2 after the United States.

23. Most adolescents> 12 years Japan has been watching JAV (Japan Adult Video) more than 10 times a month.
