Japanese people and their culture

Japan comes in top 10 safest country of the world, where crime rate is very low. You can roam around freely at any time without being bothered. For the girls you can wear anything you want with no one gawking at you.

Japanese people are very courteous, polite and helpful. I never saw anyone speaking loudly or shouting at anyone. People in japan use to bow to show respect to others. Even strangers bow in front of you as a token of respect. I find it bit strange that while walking on road , a total stranger who is crossing you greets with Konnichwa (Hello in Japanese) and bow in front of you.

Many people in Japan don’t know English much, but if you ask something they will put there everything to help you. If you ask them any place near by, they will actually accompany you to that place.

Japanese people are very punctual. If you tell them any time, they will definitely turn up before that time. Even Japanese transportation works with exact time, without even a single minute delay. If by any chance train in japan get delayed, they will provide you with delay certificate, so that you can show it to the place where you are going to avoid embarrassment of getting late.

Talking about japan food, most of the food item contains meat. Sushi and Yakitori is the famous food of japan. People even organize Sushi and Yakitori party, where people meet and have this food while having conversation.

People of japan are quite conservative in nature. They are very shy to talk to strangers. It may be due to communication gap, as they don’t use English much.

I noticed one very strange behavior of Japanese people that while having any food item, they don’t believe in sharing. Even if you sit beside them, and you are talking to them, they wont ask you for the food item which they are having. Also unlike our culture, even if you are good friend of that person, they can hang around with you, but will never ask you to come home.

Another strange thing which i found in Japanese culture that children in Japan don’t call the place where they live from their childhood as their home, they call it as their parent’s home, and you will find that most of the students do part time job also to earn.

This is a brief insight about Japanese people and their culture, I will write more about Japanese people and culture in the coming blogs.

Thanks for reading, will be back soon.
