eating etiquette

There are a few eating etiquette in Japan, whereas they are allowed to do in some countries. Japanese think that both tapping chopsticks on the table before eating and resting their elbows on a table when eating are bad manners. However, they are acceptable in Thailand. In addition, it is common to speak in a loud voice during eating in China, but Japanese people regard it as an impolite manner. In contrast, it is natural to slurp noodles with a big noise in Japan, although it is uncommon in Thailand and China.
