1. Jiggering your leg up and down in a distracted way is considered rather rude in Japan
Especially if you're eating, apparently. To put it in the words of the lady who told me "it means you have NO MANNERS!!"
2. If you have bags trailing behind you when you go through a subway barrier, it thinks someone's trying to sneak through without paying the fare, and the barrier slams shut
unintentionally tried and tested twice. TWICE.
3. Burma is also called Myanmar
Is this an international thing? Or just in Japan? I've never had cause to pay much attention it before.
4. There are some bloody massive spiders in Japan
Honestly, they could take your head off with one swing of their mighty spider-legs. Probably.

They're quite funny (*^▽^*)
(1)Do you know how to call that motion in Japanese??
We call it 貧乏ゆすり(びんぼうゆすりbinbou yusuri).
This means, as you know, bad manners. If you translate straight it, it means "Shaking by the poor".
(2)I've never had such an experience in my life.. You have twice. TWICE?? How did you do that??
(3)I looked up the English-English dictionary and it says:Burma-the former name of Mynmar, a country in east Asia. Hummm now, you're smartヾ(＠＾▽＾＠)ﾉ
(4)Don't you have spiders in England?? Spiders in Japan are usually small ones. Still do you scare them?? www
