Unusual customs are difficult to understand

I think customs have many patterns and features.
Especially, We experienced many unusual customs in foreign country.

For example, when I went to Hawaii, I experienced first "hug".
At first, it is very uncomfortable because many Japanese never do.
And also, Hugging in Japan looks strange.

But lots of people who getting along with me were hugging.
Now I changed my mind. May be hugging is good for people's relationship.

In addition, Japanese think modesty is important.
If we think "Thank you too", Japanese says "It' s no problem./ Its achievement is all yours.".
It is very strange culture I think.

Nowadays, many companies try to change official language in office for English.
It' s great technique to improve productivity because English is directly language.

I think Japanese should hugging on behalf of bowing.
