    CULTURAL AND INTERCULTURAL MODES OF COMMUNICATION IN JAPAN
    There are many different communication patterns and practices in Japan, some of which
    are as follows:
     GESTURES:
    1. BOW
    Bowing in Japan is one of the most important things in Japanese culture or etiquette
    for any occasion even if is it formal or informal settings.

    2. BOW WITH UPPER BODY 15 DEGREES (ESHAKU)


    For informal saluting, light greeting, slight bow

    3. BOW WITH UPPER BODY TO 30 DEGRESS (KEIREI)


    For formal, respectful saluting, and greeting

    4. BOW WITH UPPER BODY TO 45 DEGREES (SAIKEIREI)


    Also formal the most respectful saluting used for greeting and deep apology.

    5. POINTING TO YOUR NOSE


    Means you or me.

    6. PUT HANDS TOGETHER


    Asking for forgiveness or favor, thankful for a meal.

    7. CROSSED INDEX FINGERS


    In Japan it means “check/bill please” if it is in the restaurant.

    8. HAND WAVE TOWARD YOU


    Meaning his/her is gesturing to you to “come here”.

    9. CHOPPING HAND WHILE WALKING


    Meaning: let me pass through; I’m cutting through.

     LINGUISTIC:
    1. POLITE LANGUAGE
    Teineigo (丁寧語) expressing a very high degree of formality and politeness.

    2. RESPECTFUL LANGUAGE

    Sonkeigo (尊敬語), part of a special form of languages used when talking about
    superiors and customers it is not used to talk about oneself.
    3. HUMBLE LANGUAGE

    Kensogo or kenjuogo ( 謙 譲 語 ) is similar to respectful language in sustituing


    verbs with other forms. For example, suru (do) becomes itasu, and taberu (eat)
    becomes itadaku.

     ETIQUETTES
    1. BUSINESS AND MEETING
    In Japan you should be early, prepared business cards, mind your clothes, wait for
    your seat, accept the snack, be attentive, give complements but modes, respect age
    and adult, do not pressure, and lastly bow as a sign of respect.

    2. DINING ETIQUETTES
    In eating in Japan seating arrangements are important and symbolic. Never raise your
    food above your mouth, never rest your chopsticks on your bowl, never use your hand
    to catch the falling food. Slurping is a sign of appreciation, eat your soup with a
    chopstick, return all your dishes to how they were at the start of the meal once you’re
    done, be conscious of how much soy sauce you pour yourself. Don’t stab food with
    the chopstick and lastly the one who invite is the one who pay the bills. You should
    also not eat while standing up.

    3. RELATIONSHIP ETIQUETTES
    When Japanese people start having dates in a lot of cases, the relationship is
    proceeded by what we call a confession. By the conservative Japanese dating
    standards, two people ought to be in an acknowledged, an official relationship before
    they can even kiss, let alone have sex. This is actually really useful, especially if
    you're coming from a place where casual dating is no big thing.

    4. CLOTHING ETIQUETTE
    In Japan there are typically have 2 types of clothing which the Japanese wear. While
    the traditional ethnic garments of Japan like kimonos are still in use, they are mainly
    won for ceremonies and special events like funerals and festivals. More recently,
    wester clothing is worn often in everyday life.

    5. GREETINGS ETIQUETTE
    Japanese people have got to follow certain etiquette not just only for being a modest
    person to others but also for respecting their unique culture.

    6. GIFT GIVING ETIQUETTE


    In gift wrapping Japanese the presentation of the gift is as important as the gift it is.
    For business gift giving Japan is more extravagant and prestigious when humility is
    not needed.

    For weddings the traditional gift would be to give money to the couple. Upon
    returning from their honeymoon, the newly-weds bring back souvenirs to give to their
    wedding guests.

    For gift giving in holidays, there are two most popular occasions for gift giving in
    Japan happen twice a year. OCHUGEN falls during the middle year and OSIEBO
    falls at the end of the year

    Japanese social etiquette when giving a gift in a person always take off your shoes when you
    enter someone home. It is polite to say “o-jama shimasu” (sorry for disturbing) when entering
    someone’s home.

    CULTURAL AND INTERCULTURAL MODES IN THE PHILIPPINES


    There are many different communication patterns and practices in Philippines, some of
    which are as follows:
     GESTURES:
    1. HANDSHAKING
    Just like in most countries, handshaking is a default gesture among Filipinos when
    meeting hand. In some cases, men have to wait for women to offer their hands
    first.
    2. BESO-BESO (CHEEK TO CHEEK)
    This gesture was previously only a common practice among members of the high
    society. Eventually show business in the Philippines picked up on it and it has
    now become a common greeting among Filipino women. While some women are
    comfortable practising beso-beso with their male friends, it’s not generally
    acceptable to do this gesture to someone you’ve met for the first time.
    3. PAGMAMANO (BLESS)
    In the Philippines, showing respect for one’s elders is a tradition that has been
    preserved for generations. The ‘honouring-gesture’ called pagmamano involves a
    younger person asking for an elder’s hand and gently touching their own forehead
    with it while bowing. The practice is common whenever someone visits relatives
    or meets their godparents.
    4. POUTING LIPS
    Don’t be alarmed if you see someone in the Philippines on the street pointing their
    lips at someone or something. This person’s not asking for a peck on the lips but
    is giving instructions. Instead of lifting their finger or arm, Filipinos commonly
    use their lips to point to an object or another person. This gesture called nguso,
    and shouldn’t be taken as an invitation for a kiss!
    5. NODDING OR RAISING EYEBROWS WITH A SMILE
    Raising your eyebrows while flashing a smile is another way of greeting a friend
    or an acquaintance in a casual manner. The same goes for nodding or slightly
    lifting the head to indicate ‘yes,’ which means you acknowledge the presence of
    your colleague who passed by. Of course, it’s an entirely different case when
    someone happens to raise their brows while giving you a serious look.

     LINGUISTIC:
    Filipino, the standardized form of Tagalog, is the national language and used in
    formal education throughout the country. Filipino and English are both official
    languages and English is commonly used by the government. Filipino Sign
    Language is the official sign language.

     ETIQUETTES AND CUSTOMS:


    One of the most basic etiquettes of Filipinos is tend to dress modestly, especially
    when in public. It is expected that the elderly and those of a higher social status
    are treated with respect. Given large family sizes and typically small living
    quarters, Filipinos are generally not demanding of privacy

    1. BUSINESS MEETING
    Filipinos have the tendency to defer to people in positions of authority. They
    follow Respect Seniority/ Hierarchy meaning always respect seniority and rank
    and “listen first, speak later” at a boardroom-style meetings.
    2. DINING ETIQUETTE
    Many Filipinos eat with their hands or with a spoon and fork. However, they will
    try often try their best to accommodate for their guest by finding suitable cutlery
    for their guest. It is considered rude to lean on ones arm when present at the
    dinner table.

    3. RELATIONSHIP ETIQUETTE
    In Filipinos relationship takes a long time to develop and take several practices
    like courtships. Like singing romantic love songs, reciting poems, writing letters
    and gift giving. Nowadays it is not usually done.
    4. CLOTHING
    For social occasions, men wear a “barong tagalog” or an open shirt. Women
    usually cover up to avoid unwanted attention by sticking to jeans/pants or knee
    length shorts/skirts with tops that have sleeves.
    5. GREETINGS
    In greetings among men a soft handshake accompanied with a smile is common
    among men. In women, a smile and a hand wave is the usual greeting. Close
    friend and family may accompany a handshake with a pat on the back. Females
    may hug and kiss to greet each other.
    6. GIFT GIVING ETIQUETTE
    In Filipinos presentation is important so it take considerable effort to make sure
    their gifts are well presented and wrapped. Filipinos will often put a lot of thought
    into their gifts and will give sentimental, thoughtful and/or practical gifts.
