Live into two countries - non-disabilities. And for the talented Sophie Maed, the free movement between Russia and Japan is real life. Therefore, as if it is not more visible to it, than the culture and traditions of the country of the rising sun differ from Russia. Below, she told us about the most interesting (and maybe the most mysterious) facts of life in Japan.
1. In Japan, not accepted by a cup of table. But in terms of eating Macaron, this ban is clearly not valid. The louder you eat Spaghetti, the better it says about your culture level and level.
2. If on the beaches of Japan you will see girls or guys in capes with sleeves like raincoat, do not be scared. Thus, the Japanese are protected from the negative effects of the Sun. By the way, such capes can be purchased or in pools, or on the beaches themselves.
3. As a rule, there are always slippers in Japanese homes, and when you come to visit, slippers will stand so that you immediately be comfortable to wear. There are also special slippers for a trip to the toilet that need to be changed, if before that you wore another model.
4. In many homes and apartments in Japan, it is forbidden to keep pets. But there are such houses where it is not reborn. True, here there is nothing: this is possible if the owner and pet will use a separate elevator designed specifically for four-legged pets.

8. For the Japanese, the earthquake is the same as it is snow in winter.
9. In Japan, pay special attention to the utilization of garbage. Even a plastic bottle from under Coca Cola is not so easy.
