How they say "Thank You" in Japan

Saw this on FB. It's one of those little gestures we can adopt locally.

Blink twice to say "Thank You". Not sure how quickly everyone could pick up on the idea. But there's no harm in doing it I suppose.

I always use a simple nod and smile to say TY for courteous motorists and pedestrians.

ako, i wave or a tap to the horn. pero mas malimit, wave.... kita naman ako sa tints ko eh.

pag babae ang driver, ilalabas ko ulo ko tapos kinikindatan ko.

very polite ang mga japanese drivers. when i was there 2 weeks ago, the moment you step on the pedestrian lane, automatic na hihinto na yung sasakyan.

I do the same. But if the car I am driving is heavily tinted I blink my headlights din.

madami din nyan sa edsa.. hindi nga lang pinapatay yung hazard lights.. so siguro dire diretsong thank you ang ibig sabihin non!

I usually say thank you by blinking my hazard lights three times

Got this habit from driving in Germany about 15 years ago.

Another thing they do? If there is a police car with a speed radar up ahead, the car on the opposite lane will blink their headlights twice to warn you
