I eat in front of conbini's, on the train and walking down the street a lot. Sometimes, it is an excellent advantage to be able to "pull the Gaijin (foreigner) card" and just act rather casual about doing un-Japanese things. They are going to be paying a lot of attention to you whether or not you are acting a fool so don't be worried about being rude all the time. But don't do something completely stupid like start making out on a crowded train or something. In a bar with a bunch of drunks and a mixed crowd of gaijin, maybe this is okay. I see it sometimes, but otherwise you definitely do not do PDA's (public displays of affection).
