Hi there

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good books/websites or anything on dealing with culture shock (with reference to being in Japan). Anything else I should read up on about Japanese ettiquette, culture. Do's and Don't in Japan. You get the idea??? Ill be a lone white woman when Im in Japan (dont know if that means I should read up on something more specific).

Thanks guys all your advice is greatly appreciated.

I love Daves ESL cafe its soooo helpful

@ ShioriEigoKyoushi That sounds really scary I hope u were ok and it wasnt something really really serious!!!! Im getting worried and as a women I think we are (obviously) in a completely different and more vulnerable situation (in any country!! ) alot more so than men. I have stupidly read stuff about train groping and am now about to have a heart attack hahahahaha someone will be getting wrapped around a pole if they attempt that with me (Joking)!!!!

Thanks for the advice Ill take it and remember it, Im glad there will be people on hand to help incase something did happen.

Thanks again
