What is your most memorable cultural shock?

Dave Samwell: Some friends and I go to a bar to have a few beers before dinner. Beer is expensive in Japan and so we order a couple of pitchers to save a few precious yen as opposed to bottles or individual pints.We finish the beers, ask for the check, get it and leave some money on the table. It came to 4990 yen. We leave a 5000 yen note, thank the waiter and leave.As we are an entire block away, we hear someone shouting behind us, and waving a piece of paper. We quickly realize it is the waiter from the bar.

He doesn't speak English, we don't speak Japanese but he had chased us out of the bar for an entire block to give us the 10 yen in change. This is worth around 0.06 (10c USD).Tipping doesn't exist in Japan, or even simply leaving a tiny bit of change to save the waiter the hassleof getting you the change isn't a thing.

From there on in, I never tipped and waited for my change
