Some of the Japs and Koreans don't really mean it when they apologise for troubling you.
They are being hypocritical, some of them, not all.

I agree that the Japanese and Koreans are the most courteous group of people. As for the Indians, that is why I give them the shortest, vaguest answer I can think of when they ask. Note, not all Indians are like that, the colleagues and the Ah Neh mei mei at my house are very civilized. I suppose it depends on your luck. Once an Ah neh came up to me at the Shell station asking me which fuel is better, V-power or Regular. I looked at his lemon Toyota and just said, "It depends on your car" and continued pumping fuel into my car. He stood there for a while, can't think of anything to say and went to another fellow asking the same question. I don't think they turn away because they are rude, they are just not sure what to ask next. They Ah Nehs in general are very talkative in nature. If you give a too precise or concise answer they would have follow-up question. The best policy in dealing with them I find is to give the shortest and vaguest answer you can think of, leave them stumped and they won't bother you again. If you adopt the policy like the Japanese/Korean of being overtly courtesy you might end up spending 1-2 hours answering their incessant questions on a simple subject.
