In Japan, to express delight at the meal, you are supposed to eat noodles as loudly as possible, slurping all the way!

hey smiley ben, have you been to japan? nihongo dekiru no? other interesting japanese eating habits include:
NEVER pass food to another person's chopsicks from your own chopsticks. this is very very bad.
and always pick up your rice bowl when you eat from it. picking up dishes and holding them while you eat is really convienient and comfortable.. i just wish my american mom didn't think it was so silly...
lets talk later,

Sorry 
But if you knew just how stupid I am in real life, you wouldn't begrudge me a bit of Japanese every now and then
