3. Silence. Japanese people tend to be silent when thinking in conversation. Canadians, on the other hand, hedging sounds like “Hmm...” or start a sentence without finishing it (i.e. “Let me think...” or “Let’s see...”). If you don’t use any hedging language like this, you may find that Canadians will rush to fill what they see as an awkward silence, not knowing that you’re actually thinking and have something to say.

4.Business cards. In Japan, business cards are called meishi. Japanese give and receive meishi with both hands. It should be printed in your home language on one side and Japanese on the other. Present the card with the Japanese language side up. Take special care in handling cards that are given to you. Do not write on the card. Do not put the card in you
