Klein2: I propose to call Mc Donald’s and other fast food chain off our discussion because it is simply not a food. It is a chain. I don’t want that it sounds arrogant but you get what you are looking for. If you go to fast food chain, it will remind any way fast food quality, in some places it can be “ better”, in some it can be worst, but idea is the same- no tailor made service. It will be different story when you go to the family owned restaurant where people are interested to get and to keep their customers; where there is personal communication etc. that’s why I propose to compare things which are comparable…

i adore them! Sophia Loren the one of the most talented, charming, beautiful and class actress ever. For Maurizio Pollini- I went to his concert given in Musikverein in Vienna and this was something unbelievable, an unique experience.

First of all- please stop referring to mc Donald as to a restaurant. Mc Donald is jut nothing, fast food chain. It is not a food by its definition. Regarding customer service- I would say it became much better. In good restaurant they always accept some “exceptions” from orders and ready to provide tailor made service. In Osaka in oysters’ bar/ restaurant they were ok when I asked them if I can have some dishes from menu and combine them as I wanted. Same goes for beauty shops and high class end boutiques. I was desperately looking for a one ring, and they brought it from Nagano to Tokyo, my size, exactly what I wanted. No, you can say whatever you want, but for me Japanese customer service is really the best ever.

Well, if it is really stranger – then it is not appropriate. But in Europe it is normal greeting way between friends, family members and acquaintances. My Japanese friends who have lived abroad do same way when we are meeting.
Posted in: How do you feel when someone you are greeting wants to hug you or kiss you on the cheek? When is it appropriate and do you think the custom can be misinterpreted in some cultures, such as Japan, for example?

Guys, what do you mean about amusement park? Don’t forget that parks are not good for those girls who are wearing high heels ( 90 pct of all J.ladies), it can be crowded as well, so you can not really have an intimate atmosphere. No, I would ban amusement park for a first date

Very interesting topic, thanks for your posts guys. Imho educational system in Japan is exaggerated. I mean- they don’t have really “ professional “ education like in many western countries. Once I went to do a pedicure in Osaka. Girl, who was doing this treatment, did study French literature and history at university and she was sitting there, in spa, cutting nails. I mean- what a waste of time, money and place. I was really shocked
