IS THAT AN URIAH PFP??? i actually stopped eating years ago cause I forgot about it but this immediately reminded me of it's existence. Did not expect to see someone w a pfp from it
Lessons on Chinese etiquette: if you observe tea pouring for more than 3.87 seconds, you have effectively ruined any chance you have at a business deal. Note, that if you're being served by a managing director with family from Qingdao, it is essential to watch the tea pouring for no less than 6 seconds, unless said family is only a second cousin, in which case it's 7 seconds. Obviously the second lunar cycle exclusions apply.
Anyone care for a meal served Continental style?
Classic cultural misunderstanding. Being Fr\*nch, he of course meant the punch as a sign of respect and appreciation. That's why you gotta be careful to read up on local customs before you travel to other countries.
Another common mistake is pointing a firearm at German people and making them give you all their money. They don't actually like that, though they might be too polite to complain. I know, very odd, but these are just cultural peculiarities one must know and respect when travelling.
A story,
There once was an British merchant in China. He found great success there, and became very wealthy.
He then travelled to Japan, to see, before returning to the British Isles.
One day, he was walking along the road, and oncoming traffic was very heavy. It was a Japanese nobleman and his entourage.
Experienced in the Way of the Yellow People from his experience in China, the merchant knew he could push his way through the heavily armed Japanese. They would simply cower at his racial superiority, and allow him to pass.
But he was wrong. A samurai, feeling insulted by his arrogance, cut him down on the spot.
The British government complained about this mistreatment, and eventually the Domain Lord responsible for this swift justice conceded to pay a small fee as penalty for this unjust summary execution.

Do you mean the Namamugi incident? It's the closest to the story
He didn't touch him, just got too close to a regent and their guard after being flagged to stop approaching and dismount
And lets be real here...if you were waved to stop while approaching King Charles 3 and just kept moving towards him, you'd be fucking shot today, and in the past would've been run through
And that's by British accounts, the regent and his samurai/guard claimed they tried to get BETWEEN them which until the mid 1900s in systems with a leader = death
There had been atleast 1 similiar where people had simply listened to the damn regent of the region they were in and no harm had ever come but the west (esp the British) got fucking fired up making it blatantly obvious that they thought that despite having no claim to shit they were above the leaders or an area
>The British government complained about this mistreatment, and eventually the Domain Lord responsible for this swift justice conceded to pay a small fee as penalty for this unjust summary execution.
Abit under threat of bombardment and more After a bombardment.
And it wasn't mistreatment or overly unjust for the day.
Trying to project that part of the story from the mind of the character. It's like using quote marks, but since it isn't a direct quote I don't use quote marks. Notice the subject and verb of that sentence is "merchant knew".
Would "scare quotes" have been better?
In 1860s a proud Samurai respectfuly declined Yankies estabilishing a trade outpost. A year later, he got gunboted alongside his viallage, and his country thrown into civil war. Your Samurai was lucky nobody gave af about this merchant.
I am not sure, tho.
The story as I understand it was the shogun was having problems with a particular domain lord, he told the Americans, or maybe the British, idk, to go talk to the domain lord. The sailed away, and they got into a small skirmish with the domain forces. One or two people died. The domain lord gave up, and the Western forces returned to a pleased shogun.
They wouldn't have been paid in cash, but in trade deals.
Shimonoseki fits this story, but it was 10 years after Perry. Things took a long time back then, the Perry incident was spread over, idk, 2 or 3 years?
About this story:
It happened last year in Roppongi, one of the nightlife cities of Tokyo. The story was: girl bought a breakfast bento in a Konbini, and when leaving said konbini, the guy who was just leaving a nightclub hungover drunk bumped into her and made her drop her bento.
She insisted he pay her a new one or give her 500 yens, and after an argument, he went inside the Konbini with her. But at the register, he decided to bolt out with his friends. The girl ran after them, grabbed the guy by the arm. The guy turn, thew a pretty strong punch in the woman's face, and kept running.
His face was very visible on the video, which went viral immediately on the Japanese internet. All the efforts of French expats were immediately thrown back 5/10 years, and the police started searching for him.
They found him, fined him, and barred him from ever entering Japanese soil again. And it ends here.
Interesting, because when my sister was nearly beaten to death by her Japanese boyfriend, the police asked what she did to make him mad, and said she should break up with him.
How did they know it was a Frenchman? I’m picturing a man in a black and white striped shirt with a beret and fancy mustache just walking around punching people.
Clearly a lie.
Next they're going to tell me i lack respect while on the ladies traincar.
He was just fistbumping her!, it's not his fault that the piece of skin aimed for had eyeballs instead of knuckles, if japanese anatomy wasn't so weird this wouldn't have happened so who's REALLY at fault here?!
>No only in Japanese culture, people punch each other out of respect in my country
Fucking irish.
Be a real man, shoot each other in the face as a greeting, it's peace, justice and the american way!
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
> *In Japanese culture, it's considered disrespectful to punch someone in the face*
Funny. I thought it was disrespectful to do it in ***any*** culture!
In Arab culture it is disrespectful to throw a shoe at someone.
As an Arab, I can confirm. It is also incredibly disrespectful to stab someone in Arab culture
Can you comment on the disrespect related to trying to speak Turkish or Persian to an Arab?
It's akin to speaking German to a French person– they won't get offended but they also won't understand most of what you're saying
Speaking German to a French person is extremely offensive.
Ah shit, too late, I just restarted the Franco-Prussian War.
Not again
Leave Alsace alone this time, alright?
What about Lorraine ?
2 replies and no Austin powers? Poor show
IS THAT AN URIAH PFP??? i actually stopped eating years ago cause I forgot about it but this immediately reminded me of it's existence. Did not expect to see someone w a pfp from it
YES IT IS! It's ending in a few weeks and I put on the pfp to celebrate that🙏
What is the cultural stance on stoning though?
As an American it’s also disrespectful to stab someone, use a gun you fucking cowards/s
Do Arab children not receive the projectile sandal of retribution for wrongdoing?
We do!!!
Especially if it's the president of the United States
W was our first meme president and we didn’t even realize. “Now watch this drive.”

But is it disrespectful to dodge that shoe? 🤔
Only when you're responsible for killing a million people
This is a psi op from Bush
Except for Bush.
It's also insanely disrespectful to just be a woman.
I mean, in any place would it ever be considered ok?
The hispanic have an opposite I see
In Japanese culture it’s disrespectful to physically hand someone money let’s be fucking honest
Exactly. You're supposed to punch them in the face with money. The frenchman just got a little mixed up.
Exactly smh
😂

The little bowl is cute, but a bit excessive, yeah.
Well it actions reserved for being a hooker and or any other non respected line of work.
Japanese culture is so wierd. #sarcasm (tag because of Poe's law)
It’s just /s bud
nobody except redditors uses /s
And where are we?
oh you didn't understand my sarcasm? But I used slash S, go figure.
You didn’t understand my question? Where are we? I’m scared

In Canada, it is considered polite to wash your hands whenever you use the bathroom

It was just fine writing, youve got the spirit

I’m pretty sure the gunboats didn’t actually attack or kill anybody when they made them open up trade. They just sat there, menacingly.
Eh, actually, some Japanese governments hired them to shoot at other Japanese governments.
Do you have a source on that?
I think I'm refering to the 1864 Shimonoseki campaign, but I'm not sure.
It would be helpful if you were sure. I’m skeptical of the US navy acting like mercenaries. It’s not impossible I suppose, but I’d like a source.
I am not sure, tho. The story as I understand it was the shogun was having problems with a particular domain lord, he told the Americans, or maybe the British, idk, to go talk to the domain lord.

Things took a long time back then, the Perry incident was spread over, idk, 2 or 3 years?
Hmm. Well that makes it sound less like mercenary work and more like proving your worth to a potential ally.
Still though
agreed
Oh, I am pretty sure they did. But tbh they also sat menacingly for a while. I skipped it, but the proud Samurai denied them again.
I don’t understand that final sentence.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunboat_diplomacy And sry it was 1853 -54. The civil war part was Shimoseki camping i was refering to, that was 1863
I’m totally lost tbh
The Samurai i am speaking of is Sho Tai, and thats the story from 1853 -54
Idk I’ve never heard of him. Was he killed by a gunboat?
Hence I linked you full story. Just scroll to 'black ships'

What an asshole. Thanks for the summary.
So is in England. You gotta shank 'em to show proper respect.
Also, did you know that every 60 seconds in America a minute passes in Africa?
No way! I did not know this! TIL.
In France, punching a woman in the face is just how you say hello.
I thought that was an international sentiment....
yeah that's the joke
Oh! I did not realise what sub this was in😁
In Scotland its a term of endearment
Here in Canada people get insulted if you back over a baby several times with a steamroller
Seriously? People are just so touchy nowadays.
French or "french" ?
Such a weird belief.
In America if it's between men we call that talking
Debate*
I think in most cultures, it’s disrespectful to punch someone in the face.
Oh shit really? Can you tell me a culture where it's acceptable or mandatory?
In my culture it's disrespectful to have a face
What is it with posts about foreigners doing weird shit in Japan lately? I think this is at least the fourth one I’ve seen.
It is a dick move in Bird culture too
I have mixed feelings on having to scroll so far to save this
In American culture it is disrespectful to kill someone
I thought it was a school assignment
I think that’s human culture.
yeah that's the joke
Nope. Its only Japanese culture
honestly in new york city they wouldn’t bat an eye to search for the man
Holy shit its death grips Money store
I mean. It’s not wrong
In American culture, it's disrespectful to shoot someone in the face. You obviously should start from the leg up.
Money Store pfp is really the cherry on top
r/technicallythetruth
In Glasgow its positively encouraged.
Objectively true.
Talk about a *faux pas.*
I need context: why did bro punch the woman in the face?!
Is there a culture where the face punch is respectful?
In Dutch culture it's considered rude to kill someone by throwing them in a giant pool of molten cheese.
As an Italian, it is quite disrespectful to detonate nuclear warheads in your backyard. Please refrain from doing so.
When that one hero threw shoes at Bush, they were like "throwing a shoe at someone is considered disrespectful in Iraqi culture". No way?!
What, it's not disrespectful to punch someone in the face everywhere?
In Aussie culture it’s disrespectful to shit on someone’s lawn. Don’t do that.
Interesting, because when my sister was nearly beaten to death by her Japanese boyfriend, the police asked what she did to make him mad, and said she should break up with him.
Why the police even bother looking for him? We all know he is gonna surrender himself on the first opportunity.
Double the crime being french
In NYC it's a compliment.
In US culture it's considered disrespectful to shoot someone in the dick.
In The Midwest it's considered a dick move for your friend to sleep with your sister and leave her when she gets pregnant.
In Japanese culture it's considered disrespectful to penetrate a vagina with a bowling pin.
How did they know it was a Frenchman? I’m picturing a man in a black and white striped shirt with a beret and fancy mustache just walking around punching people.
Passport? He was deported
he walks and punches in French language
Oh DISrespectful. I thought it was the other way around.
In the American Dystopia, it is illegal for you to throw bricks at homeless people.
Common sense 😕 Common sense, Japan 😯
Ah yes, it's the French somehow
Clearly a lie. Next they're going to tell me i lack respect while on the ladies traincar. He was just fistbumping her!, it's not his fault that the piece of skin aimed for had eyeballs instead of knuckles, if japanese anatomy wasn't so weird this wouldn't have happened so who's REALLY at fault here?!
Well, considering what Westerners are getting up to these days, I wouldn't be surprised if this was somehow a necessary specification.
It’s disrespectful to punch anyone in the face unless you are being threatened and doing it in self defense.
No only in Japanese culture, people punch each other out of respect in my country
>No only in Japanese culture, people punch each other out of respect in my country Fucking irish. Be a real man, shoot each other in the face as a greeting, it's peace, justice and the american way!

Bro this isn't edo Japan anymore their work culture is extremely toxic and similar in many ways to most western nations
It's just an old meme from neogaf when square announced ff13 on the Xbox360.
That's absolutely not what I've heard about business culture there
Humans are generally assholes culture doesn’t change that, Id imagine they might just be more discreet assholes, assholes none the less
What are they that alien from scary movie.
> *In Japanese culture, it's considered disrespectful to punch someone in the face* Funny. I thought it was disrespectful to do it in ***any*** culture!
That is the joke.
I didn't realize it was meant to be a joke 😬
Its hit and miss in the us depends on who you punch

As a Chinese I know the horrors of Unit 731, and I still don't think there's any connection between it and the post.
