Also, the custom of bowing is peculiar to Japan. The bow is the manner that is important for Japanese. The bow has various meanings. Japanese many students bow to a teacher in the beginning and end of the class. Foreigner probably feel that the behavior is strange scene. I bow to a foreigner by mistake. It’s natural in Japan, but I want to quit it in America.
