Q: It is polite to wait until everyone has received their drink to take a drink. When everyone has received their drink, say “kanpai!” This mean “cheers!” Now, everyone can enjoy their drinks. It's more authentic, and the Japanese might respect you more for trying to observe their customs while dining. If you do not like either drinks, it’s perfectly acceptable to drink water or something else with your meal. Often, you will be given a wet towel before the meal. This towel is meant to be used to clean your hands before and throughout the meal. You can place it on the table away from the food when you are not using it. It is customary to say “itadakimasu” before eating. Literally, this means "I receive (this meal).” It is an expression of gratitude for the meal you have just received. When you have ordered and received your food, you may be asked “Daijoubu desu ka?” You were asked “Is everything ok?”  Answer “Hai” for “yes” and “Iie” for “no.” Typically, chopsticks are used in Japanese restaurants over utensils such as forks. If possible, use your chopsticks  with all of your food, except soup, which would be eaten with a spoon. It's okay to request a fork if you are uncomfortable using chopsticks. Don't stick your chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice. This is only done at funerals.
A: Wait until everyone has received their drink. Drink Japanese green tea or sake with your meal. Clean your hands before and during the meal. Express gratitude before eating your meal. Tell them if what you ordered is okay. Use your chopsticks.

Q: If you're excited to be around your guy and only feel your excitement build after you spend more time together, then chances are, you have a crush. If the guy made you feel too relaxed instead of excited, then this would mean that you're comfortable around him but probably don't see him as crush material.  If you can't stay still when you're around him, then you may have a crush. If your hands shake, or you can't stop talking, or you just keep gesturing when you speak, then your energy level is higher than usual because you have a crush. If you're so excited that you laugh at everything he says even if it's not that funny, you probably have a crush. If you like the guy, you're more likely to think that every word that comes out of his mouth is hilarious. If you're so excited that you can't sleep at night because you keep thinking of the guy or replaying your conversation in your head, then you have a crush. If you feel a jolt of excitement and your heart races when he greets you, texts or chats you, or even just when he says your name, then you have a crush. If you have a crush on the guy, then you won't feel completely comfortable around him. Instead, you would feel nervous because you're worried about what he thinks about you and don't want to say the wrong thing. If you're nervous, it means you care what he thinks about you, and if you care what he thinks about you, then -- you guessed it -- you have a crush.  If your hands tremble, your knees shake, or your voice wavers when you're around him, then he's making you nervous. If you're so nervous that you keep rambling when you talk to him or just completely clam up because you can't think of anything to say, then you have a crush. If you're so nervous that you bump into things around him, walk into tables, or drop all of the contents of your purse in front of him, then you have a crush. If you're so nervous that you always feel embarrassed, or constantly blush when you're around the guy even though there's no reason for it, then you have a crush. If you have a crush, then it's natural for you to not want the guy you like to be dating, talking about, or maybe even hanging out with other girls. If you're cool with him having a girlfriend or flirting with a lot of girls, then you probably don't have a crush on him.  If the thought of the guy dating other girls makes you cringe, you probably have a crush. If the thought of the guy just hanging out with other girls makes you feel squeamish, then you definitely have a crush. Just try not to make this a problem in the future or you may be facing some jealousy issues. If he has a girlfriend and you think he has a great relationship and are happy for him without any complications, then you probably don't have a crush.
A: Examine your feelings. Notice if you're nervous. Admit how you feel when he is with other girls.

Q: New Zealand's time zone is GMT+12. This means it runs 12 hours ahead of United Kingdom time, 17 hours ahead of New York, and 2 hours ahead of Sydney. Try to avoid calling in the middle of the night.  New Zealand is on GMT+13 instead from the end of September to the beginning of April, due to Daylight Saving Time in the southern hemisphere.  If you're not certain how to calculate the time in New Zealand, look online. Also called an international access code, this signals the phone line that you're about to dial an international number. Use the exit code for the country where you are currently located, not for your country of origin.  Within India, the United Kingdom, and many other countries, the code is 00. Try this if you don't want to look up the code or cannot find one for your current location. In the United States and Canada, the code is 011. In Australia, the code is 0011. Look up another country's exit codes on this website. If multiple exit codes are listed, you will have to dial the one for your international call carrier, or company who provides your phone's calling plan. Enter 64, the country code for New Zealand. This is the same no matter where you are calling from. The area code directs your call to a specific region of New Zealand, or to a specific mobile phone carrier. If the area code you are given begins with a zero, do not enter it; this is the "trunk code" used only for calls made within New Zealand. If the phone number you have for your contact is 8 to 10 digits long (not including an initial zero), the area code is already included. Otherwise, look for your contact's location on this list of area codes, or search for their town name and area code online:  For mobile phones, you'll need to know your contact's mobile provider. You may then look up the company's mobile code by clicking this link. 3: Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, Nelson, Timaru, Westport 4: Wellington 6: Napier, Hastings, New Plymouth, Palmerston North 7: Hamilton, Rotorua and Tauranga 9: Auckland and Whangarei Dial the 7 digit phone number of the contact you're trying to call. If the phone call begins to go through before you've finished dialing, you may have made a mistake. Hang up and try again, or see the troubleshooting section. If the phone number is 8 or more digits long, it may have the area code included. Make sure not to enter the area code twice.
A:
Consider the time zone. Dial your country's exit code. Dial 64. Dial the area code or mobile code for the person you intend to dial, skipping the initial zero. Dial the 7-digit phone number.
