Is there any acceptance for bowing outside East Asia, or salutes outside of the military?

- Kuiper 13y agoI've heard stories of some American professional environments borrowing Japanese-style bowing during the 1980's, when Japanese business was revered by some in corporate America. Then the 1990's happened, and now it doesn't seem like there's as much of a desire to emulate the superficial elements of Japanese business culture. That being said, I don't think that eastern-style bowing has ever been commonplace for western business environments.
