about the sorry's, I still get thrown off sometimes for the things which get apologized for haha |
You would get thrown off for me. I apologize even when giving compliments.
I hope I do well. I have known their oldest son for a long time. (If anyone remembers my first post 4 years ago, he was the first boyfriend I had that was going back to Japan. xD)
I wonder what kind of gift would be appropriate though. I heard food specialty, and books are nice, but in my town, we are known for tri-tip, and thats...mainly it. (We grow pistachios and the county holds the raisin capital of the world, it claims, though.)
I have 33 days until I leave, and as it gets closer I get more stressed about what to get. I do want to make a good impression.
