Why not bowing instead? It makes the things more comfortable. Like how should I react when someone is starring at me and how much of my powers should I use for the handshaking... *sigh* So mamy things could go wrong and makes the situation very awkward...

When you teach English and your first experience with Japanese students is with twelve of them at once, and everybody starts making those sounds, it's surprisingly intimidating. I had always assumed before that the students were paying attention, but those ones made me wonder whether I had anything to say that was worth that kind of active attentiveness - especially because I was used to classes of Venezuelans cracking jokes and Emirati girls sassing back. I assure you, nothing has ever come out of my mouth that was profound enough to deserve twelve people saying "Heeee..." all at once. Ah, I miss all three.

I also say "oh oh" when im listening, which is actually a trait from my mother who is Filippino. When i'm alone, I also tend to say "eh?!" more often, and do the little handwave when I think think something is dumb and say "whatever" I get made fun of for these little things every so often, but my American White friends usually can't tell cultural differences between asians so they end uo assuming its a broader thing (-_-")

I think that’s because families don’t sit together for dinner much anymore. Lots of families both parents are working, kids have after school programs or go to friends houses. I remember as a kid during family meals we’d sit together on the dinner table where that rule would be enforced and turned the tv off so we have family conversation but not every family has a dinner table so they just eat on the couch or the floor or a chair. In the 50s-80s household standards were different because well, everything was different.

Yes. If you're very very specific, these things are kinda uniquely Japanese. But if you broaden in slightly, it's more global. Example of narrow: saying "hai" as a confirmation that you're listening = Japanese. Example of broad: saying a word of confirmation, like "yes" or similar, to show that you're listening = global The same goes for things like gestures; the specific gesture are more Japanese, but having gestures for these things is more global.

Gosh, Japanese is really polite. Even making sure that you're listening to someone when they're talking requires you to make a sound. While probably in other parts of the world, we nod. And that's it. That's what makes me determined to learn their language. So unique

I have often queued behind some terribly rude people, usually middle aged Japanese men, who just bark orders at conbini staff. I don't know why, it costs nothing to be pleasant. Maybe I am just memorable as the weird foreign lady, or maybe it's because I smile and say '... wo kudasai', 'arigatou' and 'domo' but the conbinis I use regularly are always really awesome. Not only remembering what I buy (one place I used to go to every morning would start pouring me a medium black coffee as soon as I walked in the door) but extra thoughts, just the other day the Lawson cashier where I am a regular gave me a lighter for nothing when I ran back in to buy one as an afterthought. The ministop I used to use had a scratchcard promo but they were slammed and I was in a hurry so I didn't pull a card. Next time I went in they gave me the scratched card they had pulled for me and the free soda I had won. That's not why I try to be polite, it drives me mad when people just go 'oi, gimme number 34.' or start yelling at the cashier for asking if they want a bag. Just treat people with respect ffs.
