We’re going to feel like we’re back in Tokyo if New Yorkers not only start wearing masks, but bowing too. https://twitter.com/scottthuman/status/1247628515580788736?s=21
Some bowing etiquette from Japan, for anyone thinking of switching over. (Because deep bowing all the time is just awkward and tiring)

Eashaku is a causal hello — you can even do this on the go

Saikeirei for a serious show or respect or apology

Keirei for everything in between
Pro tip: For keirei and saikeirei, make sure you take a step or two back first. Or you could do the next-level you swivel right and I swivel left required in a pinch on a crowded Tokyo platform
hilarious and completely accurate
