RE: Japanese Drinking Culture

Definitely very interesting. I never realized there was such a decorum for all of this. I mostly just drink with my wife at home. It's too expensive to drink out that much!

Sort:  

Luckily for me, as the teacher and/or foreigner, I usually don't have to pay at drinking parties. Though when I do pay, I am always shocked by the price of anything not local. A pint of Guinness ran me ¥1000 last time I ordered one. With the current exchange rate, that may not seem bad, but at the time it was $1 to ¥100.

Wow! That's like concert or sporting event prices for a drink!
