★custom

I lived in china for the past 4 years and what i've found unusuall from what i have engage in the Guandong provience in china is that very often people are not conventionalized,meaning that people say or do whatever they wishes regardless of how other people feels.
In a different case, in Japan one of the local custom here that I found arkward is that when a person engages another person, he or she must assume that the other person is naturally good, and in fact,
it is considered to be extreamely rude here to doubt another person.
such example is that when you do your groceries at a local supermarket, when the cashier person hand you back your change, it would be considered rude to count the change in front of the person, because by doing that, you are doubting the honesty and the nature of the person. It is a way of being polite and to show repect to other people, but personally, i think that the way of people being so defenseless is not good for themselves in the long way.
Having said that i have found strange and unusual customs in both Japan and China, but i do not wish in any ways for those customs to be replaced by another. i believe that in every culture there has to be their own characteristics and elements, this is why every country is unique in their own ways.
