Why do Japanese people bow so often?

Because the Japanese show their appreciation and respect for others with not only words also through actions. It is believed that real feelings are communicated through words and actions in Japan. Bowing is one of actions to express feelings. For example, a sales clerk will give a low bow with words and say "Thank you for your purchase" and "Please come again" to you after shopping. On the other hand, you can exhibit different feelings by not bowing in a situation. If you apologize without bowing, it might be considered provocation in some cases. But please don't worry. Nobody expects non-Japanese people to master the proper way of bowing here - Japanese bow even on the telephone.

Come and see for yourself whether Japanese really love bowing!!

なぜ、日本人はお辞儀をよくするのでしょうか？

なぜなら、日本人は感謝や敬意を言葉だけでなく行動でも示すからです。気持ちは、言葉と行動で伝わると日本では信じられています。おじぎは、気持ちを表現する行動の1つです。例えば、買い物の後、店員さんはあなたに深いおじぎをします。これは、「お越しいただきありがとうございます。」や「またお越しください。」という意味です。一方、おじぎをしないことで、別の気持ちを表すこともできます。もし、おじぎなしで謝罪すると、場合によっては挑発とみなされます。でも、心配しなでください。日本人ではない方に正しいおじぎの仕方を期待する日本人はいません。日本人は電話でさえおじぎするとしても。

ぜひ、あなたの目で、本当に日本人がおじぎを心から好んでいるか確かめに来てください！！

Back To to the Chaotic City! Ugh!

I would greatly appreciate your help.
I returned from one of my favorite places on earth last week.
Here in Tokyo, my city, we have has the most crowded sky in Japan, which is why I call it the chaotic city. <em>What do you mean by the most crowded sky? Do you mean "we are the most crowded city in Japan"?</em>
It was cooling off a little bit when I got back from my vacation. It seems like Autumn is coming early which is with its comfortable weather and without insane humidity or chilly weather.

One of the best way to herald recognise the arrival of the new season is that some signature photos and text character sequences appear on a signboard in a store.

People might say that Tokyo is a beautiful city in it's own way as my friend mentioned. <em>When did your friend mention this? You should include that otherwise this is coming from nowhere.</em>

I already miss being surrounded by the sounds and colours of nature so bad very much, like there is in the very rural island of a very rural island Maui have.

<em>"So bad" is really colloquial and not grammatically correct although you do hear it being said! I wouldn't use it in written English. </em>

When you feel down, you could can look at the clouds like a delicious cotton candy and take a deep breath of fresh air into your lungs. And then, on the count of three, you will feel much better. That was my experience in Maui, and this is the way and I actually recovered from the sadness I felt at that time was in through that way.

These neon lights and the glow-in-the-dark night gets me hyperventilation makes me hyperventilate and irritates my eyes. Ugh!

I seem like a city girl... no longer.
