Tips for Taboo' in summer:

1) if your hot and want to take you shirt off make sure to wrap some cotton bandages around your lower abdomen (and breast's if your a women). Old Japanese/Chinese beliefs is to keep your body healthy is to keep your kidneys/ liver warm etc.

2) make sure to wear flu mask's when your sick or got hayfever.

3) It can get very bright over there so make sure to wear sunglasses in summer and a nice shady hat so's not to hurt your eyes. (The japanese don't want to think your teasing them when squinting your eyes)

4) Summers baseball season so if you can't get to a sports store theres plenty of giftshops/convinience stores that sell wooden swords which are very useful for playing ( dont want to offend the japanese guy with a ball and no bat)

So make sure if its a hot summer's day and u have a cold and want to play baseball that your wearing all those required things as not to offend anyone.
