匿名 asked: I don't know, to me that's like saying "Better not murder anyone in Japan, they might get offended!" rudeness is frowned upon everywhere, it's just that some places are more "strict" then others. If Japan is like the epitome of politeness (Though that's not to say they are perfect in all respects) then that simply means that you need to be mindful and on your best behavior. Is that really such a negative thing? Because people always sound like this is a bad thing and I don't get it.
