Question for Japanese who been abroad before. Did you notice any difference in mindset, type of thinking, values and respecting or disrespecting some social norms from the people from western countries which historically beliefs in Christianity instead of Japanese people who historically was not live in society which rules and judges by Christianity norms? In what it expressing? What you think western Christianity cultures are lacking? What taboos you seems as weird? What you find totally incomprehensible? What you think could exist only in Asia or only on territory of Japan? (I mean types of behavior not technology or business, and staff).

I feel like there are some differences. These are, for example, how to deal with the problem, how to react to negative things, and how to perceive space. I couldn't judge whether the source is Christianity or biological habits (I am not a racist) or social momentum.
