gamera 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by akibun: bowing behaviors. When we meet friends, we bow slightly. When we meet teachers, professors, elders, we bow deeper. When we apologize our wives, girlfriends, we bow deepest. Link to post Share on other sites
