Studying in Japan: Life etiquette needs to be known.

In Japanese society, there are many etiquette requirements of "though it is not a rule, it cannot be done". Perhaps, the same situation is nothing in China, but there are still many differences between Japan and China in various aspects, so we should pay attention to it in Japan.

However, in the process of living in Japan, the first thing to note is that "Japanese people are very sensitive to' voice'. Japanese people hate all kinds of loud sounds and noises. In the trams in Japan, no matter how many people there are, they are very quiet, and almost no one speaks loudly and makes noise. People in China are generally tolerant of sound. No one will mind playing music or playing silent games while riding the tram, but if you do this in Japan, it will definitely attract a lot of people's attention. Even if music leaks from headphones, it will cause people around you to mind. It is also forbidden to press the horn of the vehicle when there is traffic jam. In parks, it is also forbidden to practice musical instruments loudly in many places. For example, the footsteps of children running in the room affect people living downstairs, and the sound of practicing piano disturbs neighbors, which may cause contradictions. And so on, because Japanese society is very sensitive to "sound", especially at night, even at home, we should be careful not to make all kinds of noise that people care about.

Having said that, in fact, as long as people are alive, complete silence is impossible. However, as long as you pay attention not to make a loud sound with high decibels, and pay more attention and understand each other around 9 pm, there is little possibility of conflict. After 9 o'clock in the evening, most old people and children began to sleep, so it is better to pay attention. Because it's quiet around at night, the same sound may be fine during the day, but it's easier to hear clearly at night, especially in a wooden apartment with thin walls. Because the sound insulation effect is not very good, we should pay more attention to the volume of TV and the voice of speech. Sometimes it may be said that because there is no time during the day and weekends, I have to wash clothes at night. In fact, this is the most likely to cause contradictions, or be careful. Besides, you must pay special attention to having a party at home! Generally speaking, it is suggested that the rest day should start early and end as early as possible in the evening, which will not affect the rest of neighbors. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for everyone to find a suitable apartment to live in, and no one wants to have conflicts with their neighbors and cause unhappiness. In addition, when looking for an apartment, it is also important to carefully check the sound insulation effect of the house in advance.

Pay attention to whether the time belt is appropriate when you make a phone call. When you call your close friend, you usually don't mind the time, so there won't be any problems. But if you don't know each other's living arrangements, unless there is a special emergency, try not to call after 9 pm. Generally, if you want to call after 8 pm, you should first say "Sorry to call you at night", "Sorry to call so late" and "I'm really sorry so late". Then he asked, "Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?" Ask the other party if they want to take your call. Through these two sentences, your impression on the other party will suddenly get better. However, what about sending emails and text messages late at night? Of course, there is no problem if the computer receives it. If the mobile phone receives it, some people say that suddenly ringing the message in the middle of the night will make people feel very unhappy. Even in Japan, there are different views on this point. Someone said, "If you hate the sound of receiving information, just turn it off.". The original feature of information is that it can be sent at any time, and there is nothing wrong with sending information, but some people say that sending information at night is really common sense! " Everyone's views are quite different. However, if you are not particularly close, it is safer to try to avoid sending messages to each other's mobile phones at night and in the morning.

I'm sorry to call you at night, I'm sorry to call you so late, and I'm really sorry to call you so late. How do you distinguish this degree? It's really hard to understand. According to the environment and conditions, as well as individual differences, the Japanese themselves have different views, so if you are confused, it is better to find someone to consult.
