Hi.
Could you correct my English?
"Is this peculiar to Japan?"
One of my Japanese friends whose husband is American once said that when American people go to visit the home of an acquaintance, they don’t bring a calling present.
If you are American, tell me whether or not this is true.
If you are not American, do you bring a hospitality gift? I want to know if this is a custom peculiar to Japan.
I usually bring sweets or fruits which costs about 2000 or 3000 yen. This depends on our relationships.
When you have guests in your house, you need to have bought some sweets to serve your guests. If you haven’t had time to buy anything, you can serve the gift the guests offered, saying “I’m sorry; this is that you have brought.” (“Omotase de sumimasen.)
Do you have any customs when you visit an acquaintance?
Thank you!
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
I  YamaP
