DOING BUSINESS IN JAPAN, cultural aspects to remember

Disturb them tattoos, avoid the number four and  frowned upon blowing your nose in public. Here's a short guide to surviving in Japan.
It is one of the most unique and enigmatic in the world. Anyone wishing to visit it without doing mistakes should leave the Western mind in the attic of the house. The Ask.com site has compiled a list of behaviors you should avoid in the Land of the Rising Sun.
If you ignore this advice there is less chance that you look like an ignorant tourist and unbearable.
1. Do not blow your nose in publicHe is considered a serious lack of education, especially if you take off the scarf on the subway or bus. If there is no choice, play the sly.
2. Prohibited point fingersThe Japanese are so respectful that may come to seem cool. I never hear them speak up and not support someone to point a finger, an attitude they find threatening. If you have that tendency, you know, his hands still in pockets!
3. Never give out with "cheers ( chin chin )Go out with a group of Japanese can be a hazard. It is polite to serve others rather than oneself. They will like you so careful with the booze. If you are going to offer, do not you dare do it with our classic 'chin chin' (for them means "male genitalia"). Use the word 'Kampai'.
4. Beware of slippersThe Nipponese go barefoot around the house, but have a habit of saving in the toilet slippers around the house. Do not be afraid to use them within the services. The problem is that you get confused and leave them on your feet when you leave. Can cause a short circuit in your hosts mental.
5. Avoid the number 4 
Japan is cursed because it is pronounced like the word for death (shi). The superstition goes so far as hotels and hospitals often move from the plant three to five.
6. Do not teach tattoosPublic baths are in vogue, but you should avoid if you have a visible tattoo on your body. Are typical of the Yakuza (Japanese mafia) and may be anxious to see Nipponese.
7. Do not pass food with chopsticksNot bad seen slurping noodles or chew food. However, socially it wrong to spend on sushi for a diner to another with traditional sticks (the gesture is reserved for funeral celebrations).
8. Eye with chopsticksNever leave chopsticks stuck into the rice bowl. This movement is reminiscent of ancestral offerings and use because it can be considered disrespectful.
9. Do not trash the cardThe Japanese are used to give your business card when you know. It's a crucial time. Nor wrinkle, nor will the goals in his pocket as usual. Most educated would catch it with both hands and put it in the portfolio with the greatest care.
10. Take your shoes offThe Nipponese will make descalzarte just inside their homes. You are warned: do not even think to pack socks with tomatoes.
