What is the spot to make Japanese angry?
Do you think that Japanese don't have the anger emotion?
The answer is NO. We get upset as well as anyone in the world.
This won't work to Japanese.
1. yell at Japanese and say bad things at them.
2. burn our national flags. (We don't have much feeling on our flags.)
3. discriminate against us with racism. (We don't care.)
4. talking about anti-Japan topic. (I am sorry.)
These are not spots for Japanese to make them angry.
Here is what really make Japanese angry.
1. stepping into their house without wearing off the shoes. (this is UNACEPTABLE.)
2. pouring soy sauce over rice. (Time to leave for you)
3. receiving business card by one hand. (NO MORE DEAL with you)
4. taking cel:phone in the train. (this single action can make 50 Japanese angry with in 2 second.)
These are some samples of the anger spots for Japanese people.
Also, we are very unconfortable with hug, hand-sake and kissing. Don't touch Japanese. They don't like that. Just bow.
Watch Japan In Motion.
