Things to Do and Not Do on the train or subway:
Do not talk loud.
If no one else on the train is talking... do not talk at all.
Do not use your cell, unless it is on silent. And under no circumstances are you allowed to make or take a phonecall.
Do not sit in the priority seating if you are a gaijin, even if you qualify as a pregnant woman, a person with a kid or old.
Always give up your seat to a Japanese person. If you don't you will get stared at.
Scratch that last one you will get stared at regardless.
DO NOT bring yuor dog on the train, unless you can carry it in your arms.
Tip: If it is your stop and the train is so crowded you can't get to the door, swish your hand around in a downward motion and say in a very gajin-like accent 'sumimasen'
