Patrick-san,

Yes, even when you exchange business cards for instanse, you should use both hands to be polite, giving and recieving. And I think it’s ture that all the gifts are wrapped in papers most of the time. But of course there are exceptions, too. You don’t have to wrap things in casual situations but isn’t it nice to recieve something wrapped nicely even for a small gift? It’s like a little surprise when you open it. And useally, if you buy things from a store they can wrap them for you if you told them it’s a gift, well most of the time. It’s just like other countries I think. And we do pretty good job wrapping over here because we are all trained in falling papers since we were kids!

JPOD101 rules! Yoshi rocks!

Greetings to all!

Behold the power of JAANUS.

Thanks for the comment!

Katie-san,

I have a good story about socks situation. I went to my really good friend’s mom’s funeral when I was in high school. I was really sad and crying, and of course it was a Japanese style funeral, so it was held inside the building and I had to take my shoes off. I was wearing black school uniform and white socks. (So it was obvious because of the color contrast) Anyways, my socks had some holes and you could see my heel and toes. It was really embarrassing and awkward. So you want to make sure unless you don’t care, or I think no socks is just fine, maybe even better in situations like mine. You just want to wash your feet once in a while!

liz-san, like a stranger with candy, i see you are trying to lure yoshi to your house using architecture….sneaky sneaky
