bowing.


Do you remember the movie, "The Three Ninja's Kick Back?" The one where Rocky, Cole, and Tum Tum go to Japan? I used to think that movie was so racist with the amount of bowing it had them do.... and to an extent it is. In a normal setting, Japanese people do not bow as much. But, in a formal event or during a ceremony, the bowing is out of control. Japanese people are so used to bowing that it is not uncommon to see someone doing it while on the phone. 
I just thought I would write about this observation because yesterday, I bowed while on the phone. I laughed when I realized what I had done. The bowing has finally gotten to me.
