One interesting difference between the American and Japanese cultures is in the area of tolerance and forgiveness.
The Japanese will tolerate a great deal more than the average American without complaining.This is because it is rude to complain and fuss over little things in Japan.However,if something or someone irritates a Japanese,he will keep his anger down;but gradually,unless the provocation stops,the point is reached that in English we call 'the straw that breaks the camel's back,' meaning little things piled up one by one become a staggering load and finally one more becomes unbearable. When this happens the Japanese may or may not tell the person off or show anger,but he will probably break off the relationship for good.
An American on the other hand very quickly becomes irritated by others and soon vents his anger when he deslikes what someone has done. But it does not mean very much and if he reacts too strongly the next day he may tell his friend,"Please forgive me," and according to American culture his friend should forgive him.
The misunderstanding of this difference sometimes causes Americans to think of the Japanese as a bit insincere, as you can never tell how they really feel,and the Japanese think that Americans are a bit foolish because they are so frank. In reality it's just a difference in culture.
