What's your biggest cultural mistake?


Recommended Posts

Some of my mates were mocking the waitresses at a raamen place in hokkaido when they did the "irasshaimase" thing. Every time the waitresses said it they would try in unison to say it but even after we had chowed down our raamen they didnt have it down pat!

Similar thing to Oceans experience. But this time at the relatives butsudan or whatever they call them. I was a bit lost at a funeral too, didn't know what to do.
