You must always avoid giving anyone something in fours because it can be seen as a very ominous(不吉利的)gt.No.49 is especially unlucky, as it sounds similar to the phrase that means pain until death. The practice of avoiding No. 4 is called Tetraphobia (四的禁忌) and it is common in many East Asian and Southeast Asian regions.People will sleep on the trains with their head on your shoulder.If someone in Japan falls asleep with his or her head on your shoulder, it is common practice to Just tolerate(容忍) it, because the place where most people work is far from their homes. After working long hours, many people will get very tired and often fall asleep on the train.You must always bring a host a gift.If you want to visit someone, you must always bring a gift. The gift shoud also be wrapped(包). You should also never refuse a gift if someone visits you.Pouring your own glass is considered rude.It is common in the US and many other countries in the world to serve others before you serve yourself, _in Japan you shouldnt pour yourself a drink.
