I didn't know that Japanese bow with a certain standard until I heard Glenn Ong (from Class 95) mentioning. Very interesting.
- A casual hello to Japanese colleagues is a quick bend to a 15-degree angle
- A respectful greeting to customers or superiors is a 30-degree bow
- A formal apology involves a quick bend to a 45-degree angle, held to a count of three, with a slow return to upright posture.
