From The Bronx NY "What is your habit?". 09/21/'08 ニューヨーク ブロンクスより「どげな癖ば持っとんしゃ〜かいな〜？」０８年９月２１日

[christopher0530]

Ive adopted a habit to show respect. Thanking someone from my heart or apologising sinsearly, I put my hand over my heart, or like you, my joined hands in front of my face, and I bow. You have reminded me today, importantly, that showing respect to people, my gestures, my change to a softer voice, shows I honor our relationship, and in a way ,like you mentioned, I apreciate them. achknowlege the "RANK' I have for them personally. ITs valuable. Oborogin-san, Thanks, I had a hard week myself.

Thank you so much for your comment buddy!

As you mentioned, showing appreciation and apologizing by gesture is one of important thing, I think.

I would like to show my honest heart to everyone always.

But, after getting old we tend to forget or hesitate to show it.

I hope that I can be honest as much as I can.

Have a good one!!

Thank you. Very well said. Some times its true, I am required by the circumstances to apologise or offer thanks ( YES YES YES ) and yeah, I hope it can be really from my heart but sometimes I must say what is required to a superior perhaps, and my heart is at a safe distans, I hope. So I think I understand where you're comming from. Hey, I'm watching this vid again, I notice the music, I didnt hear it befor. You're listening to AC/DC. ( yes ?)... Ganbatte Kudasai, Thankyou, Chris

Haha that's funny, I notice when people do that too. They talk a certain way and when they get on the phone, they sound completely different! One of the things that I love about the Japanese culture is how you bow. I think that's really cool ^_^

Hmmm I can't think of any habbits I have off the top of my head.. I'll be thinking about it today though, I'm sure I'm gonna notice something that I do haha!

Have a good day today man!

[oborogin]

THanks buddy!!

Everyone has a habit, but it is not easy to realize that right?

Habit is sometimes indicates one's character.

It is also interesting for me.

Have a good one!!

Hehe, that's a good point. When Japanese say yes every few seconds, I used to find it very distracting. And when they would talk to me and I wouldn't react, they would ask me if I was listening... Actually, I think Japanese has lots of cool little gestures I use in English now - my favorite one is when you kind of chop your hand in the air you do for "domo" when saying hello, or apologising before sitting down or cutting through people in a crowd.

Peace man!

[oborogin]

Thanks my friend!

Yeah! It is.

As you mentioned, Japanese have many interesting habits.

I need to search more from now on also.

By the way, I sent a vid to Hikotalk yesterday.

When you have time, please, check it out ma~n.

Take care of yourself and have a good one!
