[Pepe]

Food

Can you eat/Do you like (if you don't know what it is, then "no") :

1) Sushi - It would take death to get me to stop.
2) Natto - Dunno, but stay tuned, because when I visit Japan on the 3rd of July we shall find out!
3) Hijiki - Hi-jack? I thought that's why we had airmarshals.
4) Oden - Meh, I'll eat them when I'm hungry.
5) Tofu - Fried, in soup, battered, bruised, you serve it I'll eat it!
6) Umeboshi - Haven't crossed that bridge yet.
7) Takuan - Nor that one.
8) Fried fish - Fish 'n' Chips mate!
9) Whale - I'm a little too environmentally conscious (read: haven't had a chance to give it a whirl yet)
10) Miso soup - I am a preferred instant miso customer at my local Japanese food supermarket, does that count?

5/10

Etiquette

Do you :

1) remove your shoes before entering your own house - I'll remove your shoes when you enter my house, whether you like it or not.
2) slurp your ramen - only when alone, but yeah, I do.
3) excuse yourself all the time even when you are not wrong - somewhat, so 1/2 a point I guess. Please excuse me for taking the liberty.
4) bow (even slightly) when greeting or seeing someone off (in formal situations) - we Germans invented it, the Japanese perfected it.
5) bow when you talk on the phone - no,I am an over-polite rigid German on the phone - must be seen to be believed.
6) buy omiyage for your colleagues, friends or family when you go somewhere (even for a few days) - my 'colleagues' aren't worth it, well some of them anyway.
7) nod or make little sounds agreement showing that you are listenning to someone - 'aha......hmmmm...yeah....ahhh....yeah....hmmmhmmm m..."
8) avoid teling people directly what you think - well, I...did you see that?
9) avoid putting soap or foam in your bath - I don't fit in a bath (6'6")
10) refrain from eating in the street or while standing/walking - to do so would demonstrate ones lack of respect for th food...respect the food DAMMIT!

6.5/10

Cultural adaptation

Can you :

1) Sleep on a futon - I sleep where I am at, so yes.
2) bear Japanese TV programmes - I PAY to watch animes etc. So, yes, again.
3) ride a bicycle with an umbrella in one hand - been there, done that. Doesn't keep you dry much though.
4) sit in "seiza" - what "seiza" do they come in?

3/4

Do you :

5) like J-pop - yep.
6) like kabuki - no.
7) read manga - only in English (1/2 a point I guess).
8) like sumo - yep, and I am jealous of what they get to eat all day ong...lucky S.O.B.'s.
9) like everything that is cute - to quote my girlfriend 'PUZZONI!'. In addition, I once had a 'conversation' with a kitten. Dedication to cuteness eh?!?
10) like "onsen" (hot spring) - if it is big enough, yes.
