The Little Book of Manners

Carl-san [Exchange student from Sweden] was given a little book of manners at the Combini with his lunch today...
We couldn't really read the Japanese too well, but some of the pictures were quality.

There are two main options with this first 'manner':

Option A: The book is trying to tell you the best etiquette for going to the toilet, thus:

1. first, Bend down as far as you can so that the *tiny* shop assistant can hear you, then ask him/her discretely 'where is the toilet?'

2. once the toilet has been found, bend over 90 degrees, pull down pants (and knickers) and show your bum to the toilet.

3. still bent at 90 degrees, wave hands at sink.

Option B: Different ways to bow (in order of politeness)

1. show the top of your head to the person.

2. pull down pants and knickers and show bare buttocks.

3. bend forward 90 degrees, and extend both arms straight out at 20 degrees below horizontal.

I have NO idea... suggestions on a postcard please...

All combini's (especially Lawson's) are an oasis in the vast swathes of unknown that is the world that we live on. So sacred is the ground on which they are built, discarded cigarette butts sprout into grand coconut palms and birds flutter merrily in the sky's above...

Here endth the lesson.
