    1. Hello thanks for the quetions group 6!^^
      why many Japanese people choose not to married? I think because that some people in Japan think that building a relationship is just waste of time. Some people think that they didn't have many good opportunities to meet someone as well. This situation can occur because they are busy at the office.

      Thank you^^

      I want to ask if it is true Japanese people are very polite? I think it depends of every person. Like in our country, not at all person polite, right? Of course if we meet for the first time we have to show up how polite you are.
