Hygiene and manners in Japan...? - 10-30-2008, 02:18 AM

Hello. I am going to Japan within a year or so and I was wondering what is proper etiquette and hygiene in Japan. I need to know proper eating,shopping, and bathing habits. For example, how many times to shower a day or whether or not to eat your food hurriedly. I know many Japanese do not view "gaijin" as cleanly or respectful, so any help will be much appreciated.
