I don’t say anything. I act as if no one is there. I think it's the norm in Japan.

I would feel more comfortable behaving as if that person didn’t exist. If I don’t know that person, I don’t see a reason to communicate.

Once, as I was waiting in line to order in a fast food restaurant in Japan, an American man standing in front of me turned, saw me, and began to chat.

But as we waited longer for our orders, he started getting more and more personal. He told me what he’d seen and done in Japan, what he did for a living, and then he started telling me about his family. He even got out photos of his children to show me. This felt too sudden and intimate. It was a little embarrassing to me.
