[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My pakistani neighbors budget $10,000 - $15,000 in gifts when they go home. They are an older couple, and visit every 10 years or so (spend at least a month there).[/quote] That's us too (Indians). The reason is that once we go there, people will be hosting us for dinners etc., driving us around and they will also be calling other relatives for the dinner. They will give gifts to our children too, and one way of showing respect to them is to show them that even when we are so far away from them, we think about them. If we stayed in a hotel - it would cost us the same. And the reason one goes back is to visit relatives. It is not Disneyland after all. I don't mind it. I am giving gifts to people here also. People I don't know and care about. During Christmas and through out the years. So, I feel why should I not give to my own kin?[/quote]
