One of the weird things about Japan is certain customs during new years. Since I work in a town hall I have a lot of people coming in and out of the office where I work. When knew year comes people feel obliged to come and say "kotoshi yoroshiku", which basically means treat me well this year. I'm sure Japanese people in my office know who all of these people are but I have no idea. So I am basically getting up and sitting down and bowing to someone who I have no idea who they are but this is Japan. If your superior is standing up and bowing and you are sitting down, you just look like an ass. The actions of superiors dictate the actions of subordinates.
