GPod: Intercultural Dating

2 Comments

Anyone who was in Japan last week for Valentine's Day would have noticed that things are done a little differently here. While in the West you might see a long line of men buying chocolates or flowers for their special someone, here in Japan it's the woman's responsibility to buy a gift to give to their men.

This role reversal is just one of the unique aspects of living and dating in a new country. In this show we talk to Lorie and Sho about the challenges and rewards of being an intercultural couple. From punctuality to cleanliness, we take a look at the extra challenge that cultural differences bring to a relationship.

I'd prefer to see the transcript on JT, not a video I don't want to listen to. I can read faster than I can watch and listen.
