I wonder what's really in number 28 on the west side of the Green. It might be the RCSI. Foreign Affairs are actually at 80 and Justice at 94.

That is your prerogative that you feel the need to bow as a sign of "respect".

The Emperor shook Obama's hand. That's a sign of respect in our culture.

Your reply shows some ignorance of Japanese protocol between the Emperor and foreigners.

If the protocol is "thou shalt not bow to the Emperor, foreign dude"
