'Taboos in your country' - Japanese Speaking Session & English Speaking Session in November 2018 11月の日本語を話す会&英語を話す会

Thank you very much for participating the sessions yesterday! The topic of the month was 'Taboos in your country'. It was very interesting to know that giving a watch is not a very good present in China. The reason is that they feel like their life is limited and counting down starts with the watch. In Japan, it is nice to receive a watch as it is normally an expensive present and many people feel they are valued. I hope you had a great time to discovver your own culture and others.

先日は「日本語を話す会」「英語を話す会」にご参加くださり、どうもありがとうございました。今月のトピックは「自国のタブー」についてでしたが、興味深かったのは中国では時計をプレゼントするのはあまりいいことだと思われていないそうです。これはもらった側が余生をカウントダウンするイメージがあるからだそうです。逆に日本では時計をもらうと嬉しい人が多いのではないでしょうか。値の張るものをいただくというのはある意味大切に思われていると感じる人が多いかもしれません。今回も日本について、また他の参加者の国々についてより多くのことを学ぶ機会となったなら幸いでございます。
