* PUNCTUALITY: In comparison to us the Latin Americans and some other western cultures, the Japanese are very puntual. They plan everything with much anticipation and they always arrive to an appointment or meeting a little earlier than the agreed time. Not only are they puntual to their appointments, everything in Japan is governed by the punctuality: the arrival of the buses, the arrival of the subway, the slottimes in the offices, etc.. To arrive late to an appointment with a Japanese person can turn out to be offensive.
* IN CHRISTMAS: December is the most colorful month in all Japanese business establishments. Red and green decorate the inside and outside of thousands and thousands of supermarkets and gigantic stores.

The thematic park most visited in the world is Tokyo´s Disneyland. Since its inauguration in 1983, more than 200 million visitors have crossed its doors.

* THE SALT: The most useful ingredient in the kitchen, but that in many Latin-American countries is a sign of bad luck,bu in Japan it´s completely the opposite. Yes, that´s right. In Japan it is a sign of good luck. The business establishments put them very discreetly in the door entries. In sumo competitions rivals throw salt on the ring to purify it and to invoke good luck. In the funerals, at the entry, its accustomed to lightly bath the visitors with salt to purify them.
