Japanese customs, mentality and Japanese life is quite different from ours. Europeans live this finding quite surprising. It is necessary to prepare in advance and learn. Here are some of these differences:
1 At each meeting, the Japanese clan. The depth and length of the bow is a measure of respect for each other. The Protocol audience with the emperor is prescribed bow belt until two minutes in length. They are not accustomed to shaking hands, but they know that it makes us so try to adapt. Tolerance and accommodating their behavior is an essential feature. Religious tolerance goes so far that in Japan is officially about 89% Buddhist, 94% Shintoists, 5% Christian, 5% Muslims and other religions. the pantry
2 Giving and receiving gifts is an important social contacts. Gift must be from hand to hand (it is not just somewhere to lay). Both will be at the bow. For a gift to be twice thanks. First time now and the second time at the next meeting. More important than the gift lives often only cover. Dar need to reciprocate the gift of roughly the same value. Reciprocate it cheaper or more expensive gift is for the Japanese inappropriate, downright offensive.
3 The interview is socially inappropriate to ask such questions, to which the other had no answer disapprovingly. Japanese the pantry rule says any requests for NO. Always looking for the opportunity to meet. Europeans in employment negotiations the pantry that often causes confusion. When the Japanese the pantry say yes, it does not always agreement, but they mean "I the pantry understand what you're saying."
5 Japanese society is for many centuries a strong sense of respect. the pantry The emperor is god for them. No Japanese had never spoken about the emperor under his name. It is always referred to as "His Holiness the highest ...". Calendar years counted from the beginning of the reign. Now in 2012, is 23.rok Heisei era, Emperor Akihito. Loyalty to your boss if the company they work for is extremely high. Still work without leave entitlement. It is common that when the company sent to work away from home, are willing to commute home even just once a week.
6 The Japanese have other practical the pantry perception of time as we do. For the Japanese it is essential the pantry detail. As a matter of practice, as well as in literature, music and visual arts. The visit to the Japanese excruciatingly tedious events to plan jointly detail after detail. Focusing on the present moment is seen in Japanese grammar, where there is no past or future tense. They do not realize how they had a past actions and today's fact related. Thus far failed to understand and recognize why Japan should apologize for its war crimes in the 2nd World War II.
7 For our visit in Japanese the pantry households, it is important to know that they have different habits in rumination. Shoes outside must shuffle right at the door of the apartment and into space (hallways, ...) to walk in slippers. To accommodation, rooms with carpet, she walks barefoot the pantry or in other slippers. The toilet have prepared special slippers just for this room.
8 In Japan, chew upon arrival in theaters and concert sienií or in some restaurants and of course everywhere in schools. Many times they have prepared for visitors slippers or go barefoot there. the pantry
9 Also, their habits of washing is good to know. It is known that Japanese expedition to terror European hotel because it washes the pantry out the entire floor with water. In Japan, because they have in each bathroom drain channels on the floor. Every Japanese is first washed the floor using Lavoro and showers. Join blows unwashed considered vandalism. Only after that is pure can go relax in the hot tub. In Japan, tend to have water in the tub for a week, the covered insulating lid. Every day there by myself the pantry relax all family members.
10th For socially respectable behavior is very important to know that the Japanese the pantry sniffle is very rude thing. You are allowed to sniffle, immerses himself breathing, but should not be used on public handkerchief. When colds each wearing the face veil tied. Bringing the pantry these hooded people on the streets and in shops operating on Europeans rather mysteriously and podozrelo.
11th In Japan, on the road, on the left. Right-hand carriage with us may be the Japanese as well as to a pedestrian crossing at the beginning of our dangerous intersections, as well as for us on the left side incurred in transferring the streets in Japan. Svetelené traffic lights in Japan are placed in intersections. Sometimes they have to križovatkch marked the prechodby for pedestrians uhlopriečkových directions. 12th In the first days after arrival may be a problem with delays. In Japan the time being about eight hours earlier than us. 13th Japanese pronunciation is very easy, but you need to know some principles for its transcription into Latin. - There is no consonant L, R replaced by a consonant - vowel colon and W is pronounced as in English - consonant W, N is pronounced softer the pantry in front of the mouth - to pronounce the consonant the pantry H softer, a bit like CH - F consonant is pronounced with mouth ajar (teeth touching lips) - vowel U is used for an indefinite
