This episode was recorded around the holiday season in 2020. In the spirit of the holidays, we thought it'd be a great opportunity to talk about the differences in gift-giving culture between the US and Japan. In this episode, we give you the run down on giving souvenirs, gifts for Christmas, New Years, weddings, as well as Japanese seasonal oseibo and ochugen. Who knew something seemingly as simple as giving gifts could lead to moments of culture shock and confusion among the both of us!
**When we're discussing amounts of money, ¥1,000 (sen yen) ~ $10 and ¥10,000 (ichi man yen) ~ $100.**
