I don't think it's natural to adapt Japanese way in Japan. One choses
the way which he/she thinks best.  It doesn't matter whether it come from
Japan or USA or anywhere else.  IMHO, in so called Japanese way
individuals are often sacrificed for the sake of 'unity'.  I know
cases where self-sacrifice is appreciated as one of Japanese virtue,
and I don't like it.

I don't say Western custom is best, nor non-Japaneses should behave as
Japaneses do. But anyway I agree to the creation of the newsgroup. It
surely is a GOOD THING (from "1066 and all that", the names of authors
loose me right now) to have a place for discussion among non-Japanese
and Japanese, that I am.
