Eye Language
Just back from a tour of several Arabian Gulf1countries, a woman recalls how jumpy she felt talkingto men there. Not because of what they said, sheexplains, but what they did with their eyes. Insteadof the occasional blink, Arabs lowered their lids soslowly and languorously that she was convincedthey were falling asleep. In Japan eye contact is a keyto the way you feel about someone. And the less of it, the better. What a Westerner considersan honest look in the eye , the Oriental takes as a lack of respect and a personal affront. Evenwhen shaking hands or bowing — and especially when conversing6 — only an occasional glanceinto the other persons face is considered polite. The rest of the time , great attention shouldbe paid to fingertips, desktops,and the warp and woof of the carpet. Always keep your shoesshined in Tokyo, advises an electronics representative who has spent several days there. You can bet a lot of Japanese you meet will have their eyeson them.
