Yes, Japanese culture may be different from others.
Our culture is, dare I say it, “Apologize, first”.
I think we seem to apologize all the time. We apologize even if we are not wrong. When we see foreign people refusing to apologize, we can’t help thinking they are rude or selfish.


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
