  • Geez.. you're quick to judge.. shows how much respect you got for others.. They bow as the train enters the station so I found it a good title for my vid... sorry if that offended you on your high horse.. I been to Japan 4 times and am not oblivious to their ways.. neither have I put the video on here to spite or humiliate this amazing country and it's people.. It's more of a reminder of what's lacking where I'm from.. and that's that.

  • I am Japanese.

    They are bowing to "the spirit of train" and to "their job itself"(=you can say it god of job).

    It is kind of 道(DO) which means the way of TAO.

    It's as same as BUSHSI"DO".

  • I am Chinese, and to be honest, I really feel uncomfortable when people bow to me, because in China, the majority of time when people is to dead people

  • @colindominy horrendous atrocities? You are totally brainwashed by Chinese Communists.

  • Did anyone else notice there was no one in the train?

  • @ilovesudan Exactly why were trying to kick all of you racist , no manner whites out of here!

  • I think they are bowing to thank the people for stopping and allowing them to board. Makes sense to me.

  • @ilovesudan Indeed: I once directed a japanese tourist to the right platform on a pretty small station here in the Netherlands: the man was so thankfull he 'rewarded' me with many bows: until he reached the stairs he walked back bowing: after that he found it appropiate to turn around. It's something beautifull that you almost want to do yourself, but you're so stunned that it happens that you forget it ;)

  • @malinpalin27 Vad finner du roligt med detta?

  • You would think the Emperor would riding in that train, wouldn't you? No, it is just common folks like us riding in that train. How humbling.
