So...
I'm going to students house this Tuesday night for a sushi dinner.
Shes a 50 something year old rich women with a husband and a dog.
I've never been in a Japanese home (well a few apartments of young party types but that doesnt count).
Let alone of a rich well mannered family.
Eek.
So I'm a bit nervous about table manners and house manners.
Like I do have table manners, I know my basic pre and after meal sayings (but dont ask me to type them) and know how too conduct myself rather well (on account of having lots of dinners at a rich ex-gf's hosue back home). Its just even my formal meals here in Japan have been restaurant based and I know manners in a house are different too manners in a restaurant.
Geeze I'm typing a lot.
So um...
Any help, tips, hints etc?
