Cheers?

While doing some background reading for an essay I'm writing on Japan, I found out a useful tip in case I ever visit.

Thanks to this page at japan-guide.com, I found this little gem of information:

Do not start drinking until everybody at the table is served and the glasses are raised for a drinking salute, which usually is "kampai". Avoid using "chin chin" when drinking a toast, since these words mean "penis" in Japanese.

I'm glad I didn't find that one out the hard way...
