Question:
Like in western countries like the Great Britain and the U.S.A, you might kiss someone on the cheek at the end of a date or something. Or you'd kiss the cheek of your friends. Do people casually kiss friends on the cheek in Japan? Do they hug as naturally as in western countries?
Thank you! :)
Answer:
its something privately done...you can hold hands with your love but nothing else.
i havent seen common things like hugging in japan that often...unless youre with your friends and you get so excited about something or so happy, thats the time when you usually hug in public. i wouldnt say its rare to see hugging...since teens do it...but not as much as the lovey-dovey kissing and hugging at the mall or anywhere with lots of people like in the western world. that would be embarassing. im mixed Jap and Viet so i was taught that way as well. my mom is like "if i see you hugging (hand behind his back. his arm over my shoulders) your boyfriend while walking around, youre in trouble. thats embarassing." she always criticizes the young couples that hug and kiss in public.
