 Welcome back! How was your trip in 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. |
