Difference in culture!

An Indian went to Japan & being his regular habit of resting the feet on opposite seat, he did the same while travelling in a train.​

​

​

​

​

​

An elderly man came to him, took his feet onto his lap and sat on the seat. The Indian was awestruck.​

​

​

​

​

​

He asked the gentleman "Sir, why did you leave your seat & come here to keep my feet on your lap and sit?"
​

​

​

The man answered, "mister, you have insulted us by misusing our public property. I was very angry at you for that. But you're a guest to our country. I cannot insult you in public. You are habituated to rest your feet on the opposite seat of bus or train you travel. And I cannot see my country's property being misused. So in order to save our public property & at the same time not to cause inconvenience to a guest, I took your feet on to my lap".

Salute the Japanese for their sincerity, devotion to work and patriotism!

Believe me national pride is very high in them but no idea if they are sincere about it or just to show off to others!

BTW they are very capable of being violent too.

The Japanese even boiled people alive during Japanese occupation in Msia.

I have a better story about difference in culture.

Bengali man says...in my family circle some of my relatives even till the age of 80 did not need glasses.

Punjabi man replies...true..even in my family circle many old relatives drank directly from the bottle!

Another mistake one can make in japan is asking any stranger for directions to go anywhere.

He will not leave you without ensuring you reach the destination and bowing at the end of it.

If you do not have or forgotten to carry an umbrella at a metro station , you can collect one free from a collection at the station.
