Chapter 5: Please Love Me Japan
In Japan, first impressions matter. A lot. Put your foot in your mouth and you could end up ruining a potential friendship, having your bosses dislike you, or living next to a neighbor who may be silently plotting your demise because you've annoyed them.
Devon knows all of this. He's prepared for it. And yet, he can't help getting himself into one or two odd situations along the way. Find out exactly how he navigates his way out of Japanese etiquette traps in Chapter 5 of Forever Foreign.
