You Shouldn't Eat While Walking In Japan

As with many other Asian countries, there are a plethora of customs associated with food and eating in Japan. One such custom involves eating while walking. Basically, don't do it. Although, there are a couple of exceptions. Apparently, it's okay to eat while in transit, such as on a bus or subway train. For whatever reason, it's also considered okay to eat ice cream while walking down the street.
