Do Japanese people have completely opposite living habits from China?

There are many living habits in Japan, which are completely opposite to those in China. For example, on Valentine's Day in Japan, girls give chocolates to boys, while on Valentine's Day in China, most boys give flowers or chocolates to their girlfriends. For example, when we say sorry to others in China, we want to apologize. In Japan, this sentence has two meanings: one is sorry, and the other is thanks.

First, different habits.

There are many habits in Japan that are different from ours. For example, when we go to some public toilets, we will find a small sign that says, "Please throw the toilet paper into the wastebasket". Japanese restrooms will write: "Please don't throw toilet paper into the wastebasket"! It is a sign of civilization that we throw toilet paper into the wastebasket. In Japan, throwing paper into the wastebasket will be despised. The subway in Japan is also different from ours. Their ticket gate is always open, and the railing will pop up if you don't swipe your card. Our subway ticket gate railing is always kept, and it will only pop up when swiping the card. There is also a pharmacy. Our drugstore only sells medicines. At most, it is to add some counters in the pharmacy to sell some water and so on. But Japanese pharmacies have all kinds of beauty products, shampoo products, snack USB flash drives, mobile phone cases and so on. Japanese pharmacies are more like grocery stores.

Second, the customs are different.

Let's talk about Japanese customs again. Japanese like drinking as much as we do in China. However, the Japanese way of toasting is completely different from our custom. We in China drink and clink glasses, so let's do it first. The Japanese toast differently from us. The toaster keeps filling bottles for each other, but he doesn't drink them himself. And in order to show his sincerity, he has to kneel in front of the magnifying glass to show respect until the other party is drunk by him. Japanese people drink tea differently from us. When they pour tea for each other, they don't fill the cups like we do. After one drink, there will be another. They propose a half-toast, not a refill.

Although many Japanese cultural heritages were borrowed from China, they turned them into their own cultural symbols.
