Of course, Japan is famous for its multiple degree's of etiquette and respect, so the 'Apologise, first' culture, doesn't really surprise me.

As for dogsbody's “inTO/” post, I think that might be a typing error
HI jambo-- I do not think INTO is wrong. Perhaps moving TO a country is more correct but you can also move INTO a country. YURI wrote "IN" which was an error-- yes you could and can MOVE IN a country in other words you move around the country---------------I haven't looked up the original sentence but honestly it was NOT a typing error.

One can move INTO a new country or TO a new country I guess. One can move into a new area or a new house etc etc.
