That is only the external life/rituals (as in, mainly outside the house and office) and I guess, a fairly small part (importance-wise) of their daily life, though. A lot of the rest of it may be quite different from Western, going by books and articles I've read. Even some of their values are different (family, work, etc.) Not passing any judgement either way here.
