About greeting
I studied about greeting last class. Another country people often touch each other, but almost Japanese people don't touch. I thought it is very interesting.
And I heard Russia and Turkey presentation. They were very good. I didn't know many things,
I could know. Especially, Turkey's people(99%) are Islamic. It is unexcepted, I had thought that they are Christianity.

about greeting
My opinion changed after the class. My opinion was negative,but I thought that Islamic people are kind and sincerity. I'd like to study about some religion from now on.
1. How do you greet people in your life? Is it different for different people? Why?
I often greet my friends with waving hands by saying "Ohayou" in the school. We always say "Ohayou" even it is noon. It is a little bit strange, but it is habit in ours.
And I greet my teachers and other people by saying "Ohayougozaimasu" or "Konnichiwa". It is different , because they are superior for me. I think that I have to greet them rightly.
I greet very occasionally my close friends by hugging. I don't know why..but we greet so.
2. Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
No. I don't touch.
I' ve never thought it is why, but I think Japanese people don't touch when we greet and talk to, it is Japanese custom.
