Hi.
Could someone correct my English?


“Custom of Japan”

When you come to Japan and go drinking with Japanese people, some of them will say “Let’s start with beer!”.
And then you’ll make a toast.
If you want to behave like Japanese, you need to look after other people’s glasses. If they are empty, you have to offer to pour beer for them. Someone may start it before you notice the empty glasses. This is how Japanese people communicate each other drinking.
A legal adult is twenty years old here. When there are unmarried young women, you should look after their glasses carefully, because if an unmarried young woman pours herself, it is said that she will not be able to get married. So, a woman has to wait until someone notice her glass.
Is this too much of a bother? Maybe, but if you are a man, I think this could be a good excuse to speak to a young woman who you like. Good luck!

Thank you!

Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
