👉🏻CONVERSATION M: What do you plan to give your Japanese client to her birthday? W: I’ve chosen a beautiful flower bouquet of white lilies. I like their smell and I think the color white really suits my client’s elegance. M: I don’t think that’s a good idea… W: Why not? M: Don’t you know that lilies are associated with funerals? And what’s more is that to the Japanese, white flowers of any kind are related to funerals too! W: I guess giving white lilies to my Japanese client would be a disaster if you didn’t tell me.
👉🏻 CONVERSATION M: I have something important to tell you before we attend the Japanese ceremony. W: Yes, sir? What do you want to tell me? M: It is considered rude for people to go around and introduce themselves in the Japanese society. W: If I can’t introduce myself to other people, then what should I do? How am I going to meet anyone? M: You have to wait. Wait for someone to introduce you. Got it? W: Roger that, sir.
👉🏻CONVERSATION M: The bank is closing within an hour; do you think you can make it in time? W: My client is supposed to be here 15 minutes ago though. Anyway, I think she will show up soon.

👉🏻CONVERSATION A: Why is everybody wearing so casual today? B: Don’t you know that today is Friday? It’s Causal Friday! Don’t you have that in your country? A: No. I mean, in the eastern society, everyone dresses formally to work every day. B: That’s a pity! In the U.S. many companies, like our company for example, will have Causal Fridays. Employees can wear casual clothes to work on Causal Fridays. A: But our managers didn’t put on casual clothes on Casual Fridays. B: That’s because they are the bosses. They have to be dressed properly all the time. Just in case if they need to sign some contracts or attend some important meetings.
