Hey /jp/. This is my first time on the board. I'd like you to know that I'm leaving for a 9 month stay in Japan in July. I know very little Japanese, but I'm learning. I'd like to know a little bit about Japanese society. Help me out, /jp/?

Picture related, the reaction I'd expect from other boards, but hope not to elicit from you.

Well, I haven't totally decided yet. Ok, that isn't the truth. I'm a senior in High School (Yes, 18) and the Foreign Exchange Program is funding my trip. I don't know where exactly I'm going yet, but I know the general idea, in that it will be a semi-large town, not quite Tokyo or Kyoto, but big enough to have apartments, arcades and such. I'd like to know a little about the social norms of Japan, little amusing facts about the country, maybe a bit about the economy and anything you know about how the language functions.

Basically, Japanese social norms are so fucked up that you won't be able to abide by them without at least a year of full-time study

That's OK though, because you're a white, sub-human barbarian who can't be expected to know his ass from a proper greeting, so you get away with doing pretty much anything within the confines of the law.

If you have asian looks though, you're fucked. Then you'll be expected to act as though you've lived in Japan all your life. Also, break the law in any tiny way and you're fucked beyond comprehension. The japs are EXTREMELY hard on foreigners committing crimes, even if they're on the scale of biking without having your bike registration papers in order.

Assuming you actually get caught, that is. While the Japanese legal system is fairly effective against non-organised crime, cops and other people of authority will actually think at least twice before stepping in if there is a risk that they might be required to speak English.

Oh, and I'm serious about the bike registration papers. Everything in Japan requires a metric fuckton of paperwork. You'll even find yourself filling out forms requesting permission to fill out another set of forms.

Well I'm hoping that by living with a Japanese family, and essentially being considered a minor, I can deal with the crazy shit. I just need to know some basics so I don't accidentally tell everyone in the room to suck my cock.

"Please" and "Thanks" = "Chinchin" and "Manko" respectively.
It's polite/casual (in a good way) so use it around the house.

>> No.1501534

>>1501499
Never accept compliments, never tip and always be overly polite. Also, read up on what you can and can't do with your chopsticks or you might get yourself into an interesting situation.

As I said though, any fuckup, no matter how big, will be excused by your being, from their point of view, a white slightly retarted barbarian.
