13:29 British people also line up well. But then again, they also live in a small island like the japanese. Thailand and other small south east asian countries also line up well. So it might be proportional to the size of your country. China and Americans do not like lining up. I can see a pattern here.
I’m Japanese. I sometimes think that Japanese character is similar to cats. Having small communities but keeping distance is the most important thing for peace. Even with the best friends as well. When we gather looking away from each other is the good manner. We don’t like to hang out with someone so much and love to enjoy alone sometimes. Not welcoming the aggressive behavior, big sounds and loud voice. We don’t express the emotion too much. We read the room and good at mind reading and. Jam packed train is ok because we are used to be in the narrow space together. Yesterday I took my cat to the vet and some doggies rushed to her wagging their tails and saying “Hi how are you doing today?” but my cat ignored them like saying “Read the room “ Everything is the national character that is hard to explain. 😼🫶🏻
