10 rules
I've got some facts about Japan. If you are planing to get here, you are strongly recommended to read this post.
##########
1- Always say that the foods are delicious. Even if you really do not like it. You've got to thank the provider before and after eating. In the case of soups, you have to slurp to show that you are enjoying it.
2- Be paunctual. Otherwise, you may find the door closed.
3- Be patient. The system knows how to work. You may not affect it.
4- Do not say anything with confidence. Always say "probably" or "maybe".
5- Do not talk to a Japanese about two topics at the same time. S/he will be confused.
6- Give a helpful hand on any occasion.
7- If you know something for 50-50%, do not ask. Then, you'll be directed to a neverland.
8- Never ask a Japanese to take your picture. It will be a mess.
9-Respect everybody, especially your boss.
10- Say that you love drinking. Otherwise, you'll make no friends here.

Wow! So you are saying that there's a lot to remember when you go to Japan. I don't know how I'd survive there.

Besides the slurping, the first point works also for Iran ;)

Negar:
Yes. But it is a little bit hot here. You may postpone it to september!
Christopher:
Japan is nice for a short stay. You can survive. But for a long term, well, I do not guarantee.
Me:
Right.
Alireza:
They have "No" in their language. But mostly, they use some other words. For example, they will never reject your invitation with "no". Instead, they say "Sorry. I like to, but I'm busy".
