In my country, Japan, we usually invite guests home at the weekend, in the early evening, about seven o’clock. Before they come, we must tidy the front garden and clean the sitting room. Then we must spray it with all water to show that we welcome guests with cleanliness. The guests usually bring presents and when they give you the present they say, “I’m sorry this is such a small present”, but in fact they have chosen the present very carefully.
