Burping, Sneezing, Etc. :)

Since lots of people have been asking, here's the answer to the question "What do they say when someone burps/sneezes/farts in Japan?"

Over here, we're pretty much used to saying "Bless you," when someone else sneezes and "Excuse me" for the more noxious bodily exports. However, in Japan, they say nothing. Unless the sneeze or what have you is particularly disruptive to an ongoing conversation, at which point they will say sumimasen (excuse me).

Oh, you know you were wondering about it. :)
