Body Language

Hi, this is Rie.

I learned about body language in cross-cultural communication class last week. We often use body language while we talking. 60%-80% of conversation is them.
The most popular body language in Japan is bow, I think. When we meet someone for the first time, greet, thank, apologize someone, we usually use it. I work at Izakaya(bar reataurant) as a part time job, to bow is very important thing. When guests leave the restaurant, I say "Thank you very much" and bow. And when I miss something, I apologize and bow deeply. To bow, it expresses sincere respect and thanks. Body language is very important, I think. I can understand other's feeling or thinking only see their actions, emotion and attitude.

In America, what bodylanguage do you often use??? I want to know.

Recently, it is cold, isn't it? Be careful for your health.

See you again.
