1. Every day I go to YouTube to see the latest videos of what the Emperor and Empress have been doing.
2. Today I saw them walking through the (main?) railroad station in Tokyo.
3. They waved to all the ordinary people who were waiting to see them.
4. They also bowed to the dignitaries who were there to greet them, and the latter bowed back, some deeper than others.
5. Just think if our leaders bowed to one another as a matter of course.
a. If President Trump and Speaker Pelosi, for example, bowed to each other on a regular basis, such behavior might serve as an example of good behavior that more Americans (especially the young) might follow.
b. To the best of my knowledge, the Japanese are the only people who still regularly bow to one another. The Chinese have largely discarded bowing. What a pity!
