In particular, being polite to the elderly or to superiors in Japan is very important and respectful with attitude, honorifics and greeting posture. Therefore, in order to make a better and more favorable impression at work and in daily life, you need to learn to respect and be polite to others like the Japanese.

When picking up dropped items, the Japanese often bring them to the police station to return the lost items. Along the streets of Japan, you will see many bicycles lined up neatly on the sidewalk without locking their necks.
