I recall a thread awhile ago discussing the Japanese and how they tend to dislike being separated from their bags.. it was quite an interesting read to see the differing practices of airlines...
funny though, I notice this too on flights with Japanese pax.. of course others do it too, but they seem as a group to do it the most... in all other ways though I find them to be very obedient and willing to follow instruction.. says a lot about their culture really! Love them, always v v polite and ask so nicely for things! (Though sometimes you have to guess what they want as they are too shy to ask!!
)
