Just throwing this out there for the lulz, but we have a Japanese exchange student over (highschool age). Are there any cultural dos and donts i should be aware of before i make a huge embarassment of myself through ignorance?

Don't forget that in Japan, rape is just like hello.

But really. If said student is over here, they should be tiptoeing around our culture, not the other way around.

Thanks for all the valuable input guys, its appreciated. </sarcasm>

You have no basis on which to complain about the advice you receive.

shit. you're right.

i've hear "in japan.... [insert custom lecture here]" so many times.

but i still <3 japan. i'll never get away with calling a 13y/o student gay or hentai in australia as a teacher.
