Note to the Self

  • Laugher stimulates the body natural painkillers.
  • In Japan, make sure your shoes are spotlessly clean and in good condition. Everytime a Japanese bows, he inspect them.
  • Bulgarians will use the head-nod as a sign for "No".
  • If you say something a Japanese doesn't agree with, he will still say yes - or "Hai" in Japanese - to keep you talking. A Japanese yes usually mean, "Yes, I heard you" and not "Yes, I agree".
  • Don't feel upset by an Asian who spits or snorts and never blow your nose in front of a Japanese person.
