The management of a particular mansion in Kobe city has come up with a very particular rule recently, in response to feedback from the residents there. The new rule states : No Greetings Allowed. Residents are forbidden to greet each other as they go about their daily affairs. This is all done in the name of security as some residents feel that it may be dangerous for children to greet and talk to strangers.
Strange, you think? Not until you run a search on the net and realised that many Japanese living in apartments and mansions are finding it stressful and troublesome to greet their neighbours. A strange trend indeed.
