There are lot of examples of how politeness is built into the Japanese culture — such as bowing, greeting with a proper level of formality, and using chopsticks in an appropriate way — but there are other ways that are a little more subtle, too.
How lovely it must be to be living in such a polite culture. The garbage truck sounded like an ice cream truck to me. My friends in Marshall had their town nearly completely destroyed. It is so sad what's happened to so many of those little towns.... Many of them will never be the same.
