 Hi everyone, I'm going to talk about JAPAN and its
culture.
My name is Nata and I’m a protocol teacher from
OUR TASK ABOUT different countries. I was in Japan 3 years ago, but I don’t
CUSTOMS AND JAPAN remember some things about this culture. So I have
invited a friend who was in Japan one month ago. She’s
CULTURE MARI.
Hi people, I’m Mari, I was in Japan one month
ago, this was very wonderful, Do you
remember that here you mustn't use your cell
phone in the public place and meetings?
Of course, I remember this. Japanese people are very
respectful, and also i remember that you must do a
reverence when greeting but you can’t do it in the form of
funny, because this is very important for them.

It’s true, this culture is very interesting because

is different from our culture, I will tell you
more about this culture.
And what typical costumes did you see there?

The kimono and the yutaka are very seen there.

and did you know that the tip is not allowed
here?

really and why?

it is considered rude because the worker

already has his own salary.

I remember that for them the word imperfection is beauty.

I find that very interesting
Tell us, What must or mustn’t done at the table?

Okey, here you must take off your shoes is a

custom of them, so you mustn’t have your
socks broken or bad smell.

Really? I didn’t know that, So your feet are very

importants, i remember that here you mustn’t play with
the Japanese chopsticks.

Yes, when I was here I didn’t know how to use

them, but they teach me and the first thing they
told me was that you mustn’t play with them.

Exactly, and Is there anything else that mustn’t done with

the japanese chopsticks?
This is true, here they don't care if you have a
defect in your physical.

what can you tell me about punctuality here?

the punctuality reaches such a point that if the

train is delayed a few minutes, the company
apologizes.

If there is anything to highlight about Japanese culture, it

is its values, in terms of education, hard work and
discipline.

you're right, that's why japan is the third world

power
 I hope to can come back one day and learn more
about Japan

yes, me too, we should go the next year.

I like it, mari thaks for being here, I hope see you
soon

Thanks to you, see you soon, bye.

Oh yes, you mustn’t lick the Japanese
chopsticks, this looks very disrespectful.

Oh, Did you know that here you mustn’t point out to
people or things?

Oh not, Tell me about this.

Of course, here you mustn’t point out to people or things

because is disrespectful, and if you want to refer you, you
must touch the nose with the index finger.

Oh, I didn’t know this.
