Welcome back! How was your trip to Japan?
|
It was awesome! Before I forget, I have some Japanese snacks for you.
|
|
Wow! They look delicious. Thank you for the snacks. You really shouldn’t have to.
|
|
I am glad you loved them. In Japan, giving friends snacks from a recent trip is part of their culture. They call it “omiyage”.
|
|
That is interesting. What a generous gesture! I would love to adapt that part of their culture when I go on a trip next time.
|
|
That would be nice. It is really interesting to learn something about other countries’ cultures.
