Manners

* The kind of rude behaviour that infuriates me
When someone does something that is unkind or not good for others, I am irritated and I want he or she to think about others. Sometimes it is important to concentrate ourselves, but for me, it is a little rude not to think about others, to bang on something that is not interesting for most people, to put down someone in front of other people, or to be selfish.

* Good manners between men and women
In Japan, it is not common that couples kissing and cuddling in public, and most elderly doesn't accept those kinds of acts.

* The social taboos in my country that a foreigner should know about
When we talk with older people or people who have high social status, we use different words such as formal and polite ones. Even if there is only one year difference, we normally use such words, and if we made a formal appointment such as job interview or meeting, arriving on time is not enough. It is better to get to the appointment place at least five minutes before.
