[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In the West, presents are traditionally opened in front of the giver, despite the custom of party places with busy schedules to dump all gifts into a plastic bag, to be opened later, not on their time. In other places, like Japan, gifts are not opened in front of the giver. My 9 year old DS just had a home birthday party and at the end of it opened his gifts, showed more enthusiasm for some, but thanked all his guests sincerely. He will also write thank you notes.[/quote] By the West do you mean California/Oregon/Washington? I.e., the West Coast? [/quote] Haha! No, I meant European countries and the US, vs. some countries in Asia like Japan or Vietnam. I have lived/given/received gifts in all these places, and it is important to be aware of the culture and not do a faux-pas. Of course for a kids' party it's not a big deal. [/quote]
