謝る  Apology

Picture
すみません!
It is said that Japanese tend to apologize easily.  One reason for this is that in Japan, humility is a virtue.  Therefore, they apologize to show their humbleness when they conflict with others rather than making excuses to justify what they did.

The following You Tube video is obviously a joke about Japanese apology, but actually not that far from the reality.  It is funny though!
