OMG, that whole "maybe" thing! I taught English at a Berlitz school in San Francisco, which had contracts with several Japanese companies to teach their execs English, so most of my students were Japanese. It was very tricky to teach them negation/contradiction because they consider it rude to directly contradict a teacher. So for example, you'd show them a red pen and ask "Is the pen black?" with the expectation that they'd say "No, the pen is not black. The pen is red." But every time they'd answer with something like "Maybe the pen is red."

The response that always tickled me in such circumstances was the deeply earnest: 'Hmmm... difficult to say'. Reminds me, for a month or two out there (when still a youth) colleagues had an experiment of trying to get a local to say a plain simple no, not possible, or similar. You'd try to conversationally completely box them in to just that one answer, but could never do it. As you say it could be surreal.

I live in Japan, and have found that some non-Japanese people living here follow the rule of not wearing footwear inside but don't grasp the concept behind it. For example, on more than one occasion, I have seen people walk barefoot between each other's studio apartments. The reason people remove footwear is to not bring dirt inside, so although you might not wear footwear inside, by walking around outside barefoot, you are essentially negating the purpose of the custom.

You can use your phone on trains just not for talking. Messaging, using net, playing games or music (with headphones), or reading is perfectly fine. More accurately the rule is don't make noise on the train. Conversation is fine but keep it low and just be considerate of others around you.

I'm Japanese. When you (or we) get phone call in train, you(or we) can use a phone and should say "I'll call back later as I'm on a train". You don't have to ignore that call, I guess. In addition, sometimes you can see some Japanese sit on a floor in train, but that is not manner... I'm sorry for my poor English. It would make me happy if my comments helped you.

You can break the eating and drinking rule, when you are at a festival and there are food stalls around. I sometimes took quick drink from a bottle I was carrying, when it was hot. I found that just stopping for a moment out of the way somewhere that was not too crowded and having a quick sip and putting it back away, was acceptable, as long as your not walking while doing it. I never got nasty stares for it, and I have seen Japanese people do it. You could even get away with sipping a drink on a train, if its not crowded at the time, and you are careful not to spill a single drop, particularly if you have lid to put back on it and you put it away afterward. I tended not to do it, but you could get away with it, and I have caught Japanese people having a quick sip, although it was rare to see.

9:34 The reason why there are hardly any public trash cans in Japan is because of an incident that happened in 1995 where a cult called Aum Shinrikyo carried out a terrorist attack in Tokyo where they dropped canisters of lethal gas into public trash cans in subways, which killed 12 and left over 6,000 people injured. It's the worst terrorist attack in Japanese history and is the reason why public trash cans are nearly nonexistent in Japan. Edit: Whoops, looks like there's already a comment about this. Oh well.
