Hi, everyone!
Today, I studied about body language in North America and I was surprised at the difference between Japan and North America.
In japan, we often bow when we meet someone. But it is used only when we meet first time, in office or serious scene.I think bow is the most Japanese beautiful culuture. It looks beautiful and feel how japanese take care of other person.I don't bow so much time, only in part timejob. I always wave hand when I meet someone.
But!!! I must bow when I meet Japanese professor^^;
I was surprised at that moving extended index finger from side to side means 'Dont't do that'. In japan, almost parents don't use special gesture when they take notice of their children. They only say 'Stop it!'
I also surprised that tauching hair isn't common acting in the world. Zuzanne said that there are only Japanese girl that always tauch their hair. I really don't care about that. We tauch our hair without notice and it's no meaning. Maybe, I think it is a habite of Japan.
Now, I wrote about Japanese gesture.What kind of Japanse culture are you interested in? I will write about if you want.
Bye!

Hi,Yoshiko. In class, we learned body languages of various countries. I enjoyed very much because I didn't know body languages of other countries and I was interested in it. Did you enjoy?
I think that bow is the most Japanese beautiful culture, too. It is interesting, but I don't do that so much. Bow is really polite. In part time job, I do that. It is important there. You will know that I am a receptionist in a sport club, so bow is necessary for me. Do you often do that in part time job?
In Japan, most girls touch their hairs. I didn't know that it is only Japanese girls, so I wanted to know the reason. I always touch my hair, but I don't notice. I will care from today.
Hi, Yoshiko^^ I really enjoyed to learn body language. It is defferent between each country. There are many body language that I didn't know the meaning and different meaning Japan and foreign country.
Me too. I don't bow often. I don't have a part time job. I really don't bow but You and Ayumi do that because you have a part time job. Is there any rule to how to bow?
I surprised about the meaning of touching their hair. It is very interesting meaning. Actually I wrote a blog about touching their hair. Please read my blog^^
Hi! I am surprised your teacher told you that patting your hair is vain. I dont think that is vain at all! I do that all the time, mainly because I'm not really thinking of anything or I'm bored! Playing with my hair is fun too sometimes because I make a fake mustache!! haha :)
