This was a very interesting read to me and and I got bit more knowledge regarding a culture which I feel is very very different from my own.

For example, the correct angle to bow in a job interview:

That is very interesting

Different things in different cultures are always interesting, look at how time is handled in different cultures. Most western cultures have a monochronic approach to time, so a meting at 10AM really does mean 10AM and not about 10AM , where as in polychronic time it would mean , about 10

Well, I think this illustration is ridiculous, even for japanese. There is some kindness, you can't learn from numbers and angles, and not even from books, or tutorials. Is it called charisma?

The first two guys aren't ever getting a job. And the third had better have a doctor's note for his sore back. Such contemptuous disrespect!

I like that the bows are delimited in degrees Centigrade. No imperial degrees here! ::geometry head explode::

Even the Japanese Empire was metric…

And somehow I didn't even notice those C signs. Whoops!
