I am avain pleasantly surprised by japanese curtosy at the airport. Apparently right before the crew comes to the gate (puntually one minute before the hour) thry all line up in a row and give a big biw of respect to all thr customers waiting, including the pilots. Thry then smile and wave to anyo e who makes contact.
Lovely culture to expiernce, i really do need to try to come here for a few months.
@freemo Just about your surprise or impression: Just wanted to say that on a plane it's more of a fabricated / commercial thing so while no doubt it's in the culture (and probably you don't judge it all and know a certain amount of all this is tourism) it's not necessarily a representation of actual culture at the time...
My stone / pan-face is a sign of my respect and a small courtesy - enjoy your flight :)
