I can certainly relate to that.
And as the Chinese say: "If you bow at all, bow lowly."

Hi Miha,
I am Chinese, and I don't bow (in normal everyday activities anyway) and I have not heard of the above saying, maybe it is Japanese. The Chinese civilisation did bow/kowtow but then such practice became arcane since circa 1920; eversince China underwent a huge change in management (i.e. overthrowing of the Imperial Ching dynasty and founding of the Republic of China).
Just a piece of cultural policing.
Boon.
