Greetings

There are slopes of 15, 45 and 90 degrees, the latter dedicated to the great ceremonies. In restaurants, hotels, entering an elevator, so everyone will address you with a little bow before you begin speaking. It is considered impolite not to respond to a bow. When you see a Japanese person talking on the phone, you will see that continue to make these inclinations but not to see!. I have so assumed that more than a gesture of education makes them look like little automatons. According to a study conducted in Japan a few years ago, a lift of any office building or department stores, bowed his head half of 2500 times a day!

Do not leave chopsticks stuck in your bowl of rice, their meanings are: death. It normal when you sit in a restaurant before eating, you’re offered a wet towel to wipe your hands. It is considered rude to eat in the street while you walk. If you want them to use a park for do so. The Japanese Often
Contribute a better translation make enough noise when literally slurp their noodles with chopsticks. It is considered rude.
