I think that there are many ways of greeting in my life. When I greet people, I usually say "Ohayou" and smile, or just say "Ohayou", bow, wave my hands and so on. And I consider that how to greet is depend on my relationship, situation. I greet more political when I greet senior people, member of part-time job and people who I do not know. The other hands, I greet more familiar when I meet friends. Also, I do not touch people when I talk to them. But I do not know why I do so. I think it is the national character of Japanese.

返信削除Actually, I think greeting depend on our relationship and situation, too.
Moreover, greeting vary in different countries.
If I go to foreign country, I need to go along that country's culture.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
I agree with you.
返信削除As you say, there are many ways of greeting in our life.
I think that we should use the right word in the right place.
But it is difficult for me;

So it is difficult for me, too ;(
I agree with your point that greetings depend on the relationship.
返信削除I often say "otsukare-sama-desu" to my bosses at my part time job.
Do you say that words?
I have heard that saying "gokurou-sama-desu" to our bosses can offend them.
We can express our thankful feelings by saying "otsukare-sama-desu," but saying "gokurou-sama-desu" is wrong to say bosses.
It is hard to greet people, isn't it!?
Hello!
返信削除I agree with your article.
How to greet are different to relationship.
