「Looking forward to your help」 is the original saying in Japanese communication culture. When meeting, talking, speaking, … at the beginning and the end, they often bow to the opponent, the level of low bow also depends on the object of communication.  Here we are talking about greeting rather than apologizing or asking so a little bit of a hunch is often used.

When talking should not be too close, the Japanese need to keep a certain distance in the conversation, this is to be considerate in communication. When I first came to Japan, I talked to a Japanese boy (younger than me), because of his habit of talking with friends in Vietnam, he kept coming and talking but found me shifting my seats closer, he stepped back a little. I understood so I took a step back, after getting closer, it was no problem sitting close to whispering to each other.

The Japanese speak very softly, they often talk about this and that. Although whispering in a whisper, but keeping a distance away but still able to communicate normally. All foreigners have to try to listen to understand so it is often difficult, of course maybe when there are foreigners there, they can use words that only native speakers can understand.

With colleagues if invited to eat and drink:

It would be rude if you refuse, with close colleagues can discuss with each other before the appointment is the time to go out to eat and drink, everything is very easy and smoothly. Because you are prepared in advance and ready to go out and eat stress, talk happily outside of work.

And if the boss invited to eat, then the boss should of course very busy, once invited to drink, it is very interesting to suddenly invite to go. The first few times I was surprised but got used to it. Sometimes want to refuse but not enough to convince boss. I noticed that my colleagues almost agreed immediately, they did not show that they did not want to go. Later I realized, if the boss has invited, it is very difficult for you to decline so it is best to prepare and start going.

In the drinking party, people talk happily but they are very considerate. Of course it depends on the person and the level of intimacy. If they are open, then you do not need to keep your attention, Vietnamese and Japanese culture are different so there are many topics to exchange. Younger people, subordinates often pour wine for older people, superiors and sometimes the opposite, we invite them, they invite us again. After drinking, they usually go to sing or drink. When all about, but not see the case of the first, the next.

At a restaurant or cafe

If the area is a bit large, there are separate rooms for smokers, the Japanese they smoke a lot. According to my own experience, I find that people who smoke a lot use electronic cigarettes, while those who smoke less often use cigarettes.

For smokers, I feel they are more generous, friendly, and more open. When communicating with such people, you will gain more knowledge that is not mentioned in your work and books. It will be very interesting.

Communicate in public

I feel that not only in public places but also in offices, they speak very softly but laugh out loud. I feel strange but that’s probably their habit. Normally, they talk in a whisper, softly, considerate, does not affect other people except their laughter.

In general, in any society, everywhere there are many types of people, many personalities. But Japanese people are used to speaking half-heartedly and the other person understands himself. They also pay great attention to even small details. It will be lucky if you live in a friendly environment, and it is frustrating if you live around people who are often cursing or talking back. So if you can behave smartly, it will win the hearts of the other person and your life will be lighter.

Anyway, we are going to study and work away from home, because of the rice, because of the future, so much is patience. But living a life is still to be enjoyed, in a way that is both labor and enjoyment.

I wish you a happy and energetic life in study, work as well as in life.
