Weddings
Couples used to get married in their mid-twenties. But these days, they seem to be taking their time about it, so that now, 31 has become the ( 1 ) age to “tie the knot.”
Most British wedding ceremonies are held in a church, or in the town hall if it’s a non-religious wedding. At both places the couple exchange vows and promise to love and
honour each other “until death do them part” and so on. Japan is very ( 2 ). The couple might have a traditional ceremony in a shrine, or have a wedding that copies Western-style ceremonies, complete with a foreign priest and a choir. Another choice is the simple one: the
couple fill in and sign a form at the city or ward office.
Wedding receptions in Japan are quite formal. The women guests may dress up in kimono or fancy western clothes, and the men invariably look like a gathering of red-faced penguins in their formal black suits. Several people make formal speeches, which can be quite tricky because there are so many taboo phrases that must be ( 3 ). Then there are formal toasts, more speeches, and a couple of inevitable songs. The bride in her kimono makes a quick exit and reappears in a white wedding dress. She doesn’t stay around long, though, and she next appears in an eye-catching evening dress. Just as the party is getting
into full swing, it finishes, and, because this is Japan, perfectly on time.
The English have a much more casual approach to the reception. The bride in her wedding dress stays like that to the end. The speeches are fueled by drink and tend to include jokes, be ( 4 ) and bawdy. A party like this has a starting time, but there is no schedule for
finishing it. It usually 1dies a natural death, sometime in the early hours of the morning.
If you are thinking about getting married in England, you might want to think again. So-called “friends” like to play monstrous jokes on the young couple. The night before the wedding is often a time for the groom and his males to get drunk at a stag party. The unsuspecting groom is sometimes driven to a spot and dumped miles from home, and has to make it to the church later that day. It is great fun for everybody, ( 5 ) that is, for the couple.

HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU SPEND?
If Japanese people visit a foreign country, there may be many things that they find are not the same as in Japan. Some, of course, are obvious: the language used is one. Some may not be noticed so quickly. There may be small differences in lifestyle, customs or manners and other things which cause real culture shock. Perhaps one of the most important changes they will notice is that the way to pay for things in shops, restaurants, or for taxis etc., is not
familiar to them. Let’s look at three examples which affect how, and how much you should
pay: tipping, bargaining and taxes.
Tipping
Tips are usually left by customers in restaurants and cafes to say thank you to the waiter for good service. Also, taxi drivers may expect to receive a little more that the price shown on the meter. In the U.S. and Canada, a tip of 15-20% is normal. In the U.K. and other countries in Europe, around 10% is average. In many Asian countries, tipping is unusual. Tipping is also uncommon in Australia and New Zealand, but many people still leave 10% for excellent
service. It’s a good idea to check your bill because a ‘service charge’ is sometimes included. This is usually around 10%. In this case, you can still leave a small tip if you like. For
example, if your bill is $23.25, you could give the waiter $25 and say “Keep the change!”
Remember, how much you tip is your choice. Bargaining
In many shops and stores, the prices of goods are clearly displayed and this should be the price you pay. In this case it may embarrass the clerk to ask for a discount. However, bargaining is a common way to buy goods in many parts of the world. In markets and shops where prices are not fixed, it is how the seller and the customer agree on the price. Bargaining can be fun but it is not always easy, especially when it takes place in a foreign language.
It is a good idea to take a good look at the items you want and if possible find a similar thing in a shop with fixed prices. Then you will know about how much to pay. Take your time and try not to show too much interest in the item you want to buy. Also, try to decide the highest price that you are willing to pay before you start discussions with the shopkeeper. That way, you will not end up spending a lot more than you planned to!
Taxes
be as low as 3%, 8%, as in Japan, or as high as 20%. Some countries have both state and national taxes. For some special goods such as gasoline or alcohol the tax may make up much more than half the total price! It may be confusing for the traveler because sometimes this tax is already included in the price shown on the ticket and sometimes it is added at the cash desk when the item is bought.
Making shopping easier and more fun
The key to knowing how best to use your money and avoid making expensive mistakes is to learn about the places you are going to visit before you go. This information is available from guidebooks, the internet, and, of course, from people who have already been to those places. Find out if tipping is part of the local culture! Check whether it is acceptable to bargain for something or to ask for a discount! Confirm how much tax rates are and whether they are included in the prices which are shown!
All of these things will help towards you being able to relax more and feel comfortable when traveling to new places, and especially when shopping!
(1) When traveling abroad Japanese people may find… (2) Tipping is giving a little more than the price asked. It…
(3) In some places the price of goods…
(4) The rate of sales tax in most countries… (5) It is a sensible idea to…
a depends on the customer how much they really want to tip. b they can use the Japanese language almost everywhere. c can be decided after discussion between buyer and seller. d ask for a discount whenever and wherever you buy something. e is clearly shown and can easily be discounted.
f varies greatly even within the same city.
g some things are slightly different but some very much so. h is around 10%, on average, in Asian countries.
i may or may not be included in the ticket price.
