Japan-An A-Z Guide is your updated guide to living, working and traveling in Japan-or doing business with the Japanese. With over 70 alphabetical listings, the book will guide you through all aspects of Japanese life-from catching bullet trains and office etiquette to eating sushi and karaoke singing Written by one-time Australian Executive Woman of the Year, the book draws on examples from the author's own experience-and is a practical and personal approach. It is an easy to read essential guide to dealing successfully with the Japanese in business, day to day living and play.
