Change trays | The Japan Times
www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/05/23/reference/change-trays/#.VW_ccKrRZTf, posted 2015 by peter in business culture history japan
The cashiers I interviewed all agreed that the trays are convenient because there’s less risk that someone will drop a coin and set off a scramble to retrieve it. The trays also make it possible to spread out the bills and coins so customers can see at a glance that they’ve been given the correct change. And as one shopkeeper explained it, offering change in a tray feels more polite than simply placing money in a customer’s hand. “Japanese prefer not to touch other people’s hands and the tray creates desirable distance,” he commented. “So you could say that using a tray is an expression of reserve as well as an extension of good customer service.”

These experiences will help you understand who the Japanese people are, and why they act the way they do. Get ready to move from tourist to cultural expert after the jump!
I've done about half of these so I guess I'm about half-way between "tourist" and "cultural expert".

www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names.en.php?changelang=en, posted 2014 by peter in culture language reference
People who create web forms, databases, or ontologies are often unaware how different people’s names can be in other countries. They build their forms or databases in a way that assumes too much on the part of foreign users. This article will first introduce you to some of the different styles used for personal names, and then some of the possible implications for handling those on the Web.
