There are things that you can do in Japan but you cannot do in certain U.S. states. Sometimes people use little fish to clean their feet. You put your feet in the water, and doctor fish eat the dead skin. Apparently, it makes your feet feel softer. I have seen this kind of fish spa at a “super sento” in Nagoya near my house. One businesswoman wanted to start a fish spa in Arizona. She bought some fish from China and went into business. Then she was told to close her fish spa. It was against the law to use fish because they were not clean enough.　(by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Are there any everyday sounds that you really dislike? A U.S. newspaper asked its readers which sounds bothered them. Number 5 was the sound of people cracking their knuckles. In fourth place was the sound of people cutting their fingernails. Number 3 was when people who have a cold sniffle. In second place was the sound of people popping bubble gum. The most disliked sound was people noisily eating soup. As you can see, this list depends on your culture. In Japan, it is okay to sniffle and make noise while eating, especially noodles.
