Thank you very much, it's way to ask that question in Canada or USA and sound perfectly normal. There is one thing I'm trying to understand and that is accepting food on the first offer they give you. You're supposed to decline it but it will be offered later on anyway for younto accept it on the 2nd offer. Is this much like the vendors in certain countrues expecting you to negotiate down a price on some item even if the initial offer is still a good deal? [ Post made via Mobile Device ] | ||

This I can't help you with, I'm afraid. That sounds like an experience sort of thing, and as I don't live there and haven't been I can't say I've actually experienced this particular situation. | ||

I can offer up a theory about that. So first time they offer you, you decline to be polite, in a way saying, that you don't want to bother them. If they offer again, then you accept (even if you don't want to), again to be polite, this time, because of their insistence. That's one area of Japanese culture that I don't particularly care for, but I think if you study their behavior, it prioritizes politeness above just about anything else. I prioritize practicality, and this sort of wishy washiness is just a waste of time and effort from my perspective. | ||||

EDIT: im not sure if i got the cultural reference completely correct but its will suffice |

Yeah, that's how much I pay attention to football to find out the final score. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |
