How do you greet people in your life?
When I greet somone, I say Family name and bow only.
Almost Japanese people don't body contact.
Is it different for different people?
When I went to British to study abroad, My host family is very friendly.
It was first time we met, They are hug me and kiss on my cheek.
They had a lot of body contacts.
How so and why?
I think body contacts have a close affinity with people easily.
Therfore, They did body contacts.
Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
I don't touch people when I talk to them.
I am ashamed to touch other people.
Hi,Kiki.
返信削除Yes, foreigner do a lot of body touching more than Japanese.
But I like it and it need it for us, I think.
If I disappoint or feel down and my friend pat my on the shoulder, I will be fine.
Touching is sometime need for us, isn't it?
Hrllo, Kiki★
返信削除When I went to England, my host family was very friendly, too.
It is unusual for Japanese to do body touch, but it's usual for some foreign countries to do it.
I can't touch people if not so close.
It defferent culture between country and country.
