I finished The Accidental Office Lady, and have checked out from the local library Japanese Cultural Encounters & How to Handle Them by Hiroko C. Kataoka with Tetsuya Kusumoto. There are mini situations and answers on a variety of topics. Some of them I already know from before, but some of the answers to the situations give insight to what is considered polite in Japan, and helps give an idea of why some things are the way they are, or why people react the way they do. If you are interested in getting a little knowledge about these kinds of customs before I leave, please check out this book! It is rather short, and a quick read.
