article: While both cultures are relatively polite compared to most Western cultures, the Japanese place far more emphasis on manners and social hierarchy than the Chinese do. In Japanese society, you would never be casual or familiar with someone who was significantly older than you or held a higher social rank.  While both the Chinese and the Japanese are more formal with older people, the Japanese people are also more formal even with people who are only a year or two older. For example, if you were in your first year of study at a Japanese university, you would be polite and formal with fellow students who were in their second year of study. The Japanese observe high levels of self-discipline and decorum in public. You would seldom see Japanese people arguing or expressing anger with each other publicly, while the Chinese don't necessarily have a problem with this. While the Chinese aren't particularly motivated to capitalize on their popular culture, Japanese popular culture is a global commodity. Manga comic books, anime, and Harajuku street fashion are all fairly well known in Western cultures.  Much of the pop culture difference comes from the difference between the governments of the two countries. China has a communist government and economy, which makes it a much less consumer-based society. Japan, in contrast, has a booming capitalist system that feeds its citizens' desires to be enriched and entertained. China's films and music tend to be filled with government propaganda and a strong political agenda, which means they aren't very popular outside the country. Because China is a communist country, most Chinese embrace atheism. Religious believers in China are often persecuted so religious ceremonies and meetings are typically carried out in private. Japanese people tend to be far more religious, following both Buddhist and Shinto belief systems.  Japanese temples and sacred gardens are located throughout the country, and elaborate formal ceremonies are public occasions. Many Japanese also attend Christian churches, a practice that is forbidden in China. China is slightly smaller than the contiguous United States, while Japan is slightly smaller than the state of California. The difference in land area means that Japan is far more urbanized than China. Chinese people primarily work in agriculture and industrial production while most Japanese people work in the service sector.  Because of China's size, it is difficult to generalize about a universal Chinese culture. Different regions of China have their own customs, traditions, and beliefs. China is more diverse while Japan tends to be more homogenized. As an island, Japan has remained relatively isolated from external influences throughout history. This makes Japan's culture unique compared to many others. In contrast, Chinese traders have long been exposed to many different cultures and nationalities and incorporated various styles, beliefs, and practices. The Japanese tend to eat a lot of fresh and raw food, particularly seafood, while the Chinese more often fry things. While rice and noodles feature prominently in both Chinese and Japanese diets, they are cooked much differently and have different flavor profiles.  Rice in China is typically fried and mixed with vegetables, eggs, and sauce. Japanese rice is more often sticky rice. While rice may serve as the base for a Chinese meal, in Japan it is more often offered as a side dish. Japanese fresh vegetables are typically steamed and served separately, while Chinese vegetables are usually fried along with the meat and mixed together.

article: Remember that rabbits are prey animals. That means they are naturally used to being hunted, so if you startle them they'll run away. Accordingly, you should always give your rabbit a warning that you're approaching so he won't get scared. Don't sneak up behind the rabbit. If you enter the room and your rabbit is facing away from you, give him a signal you're in the room. Speak softly or make light kissing noises. This way, he won't feel like you're sneaking up on him. Rabbits can be startled by something large like you approaching them, even if they already know you're there. Especially if your rabbit has a nervous disposition or isn't used to being handled yet, approach slowly and try to stay low. That way you can avoid startling your rabbit as you approach. Grabbing your rabbit or forcing him to come over is a good way to scare him and get bitten. When you're close enough, you should let the rabbit come to you to avoid this. Allowing him to move at his own pace will ensure that he's comfortable and wants to come over to you. This will make it easier for you to pet him, play with him, and pick him up. If your rabbit is new to the house, he might be hesitant to approach you right away. It is important to not force him to come to you. Keep up this process for a few days until he begins approaching you to ensure that he is comfortable when you start petting him. Move it towards the rabbit gently, placing it at eye level and off to the side. Allow the rabbit to sniff your hand, at its convenience. You might also want to give your rabbit a treat at this point, especially if you just got him and he isn't used to you yet. Hand-feeding is a good bonding exercise, and it will also teach your rabbit that you aren't a threat and he can approach you safely. While the hand presentation is part of bonding, you could scare your rabbit if you do it improperly. Keep the following in mind to make sure your rabbit stays happy and comfortable during this process.  Present your hand to the rabbit's front end, not back. Otherwise you'll scare him when he realizes your hand is approaching. Rabbits can't see directly in front of their face or under their jaw. Bring your hand in from slightly off to the side to ensure that your rabbit sees it coming. Do not put your hand below the rabbit's nose. While presenting your hand under the jaw shows submission to dogs and cats, it has the opposite presentation in rabbits, as a dominant rabbit will approach another and demand to be groomed by the other by lowering its head under the other rabbit's nose. If you approach a nervous rabbit this way, it will likely make it more nervous, and if you do this to a territorial or dominant rabbit, you might get nipped.

article:
Since she's a shy girl, it is important during this stage that you don't force her to talk with you. She might need time to adjust to being around you or to speaking with you, and rushing her into conversation could cause her stress. When checking to see if she likes you, first talk about low-stakes topics, like the weather, teachers, classmates, or daily life. Be patient and it is likely she will  become more comfortable with you. It might take time before she's ready to break out of her shell, so be persistent if she is even slightly responsive. Studies have found that people naturally speak more around those that they like and have romantic interest in. When you share conversations with her that go on and on, or if you find her more conversant around you, take this as a sign of interest. Also, speaking with her more should put her more at ease around you, which will make asking her out less difficult. Some topics you can use to get her started include:  Future plans Hobbies and sports Family Favorite class Dream job After weeks of wondering, "Does she like me?" you might be ready to ask, but with a shy girl, this might not be the best decision. Try to approach whatever question is on your mind in a way that gives an escape if the question is too uncomfortable.  Whatever you do, do not comment on how shy she is, as this could make her even more self-conscious and less willing to talk.  Instead of asking, "Want to go to a movie with me?" you might instead mention, "That movie looks really great. I was hoping to see it next week when it comes out, but I don't have anyone to go with." If you see a lot of the signs and signals of romance in your relationship with her, and you believe that she likes you, trust your instincts. And remember, though rejection is rarely enjoyable, if you never try, you'll never have a chance of finding that special someone.
