1.Death and Funerals:
a. Do you have any international friends or a host family? If so, how would you express your condolences to them if a family member died?
Japanese wear black kimono or suits for condolences, and give a condolence payment to the family. And then, we see died person's face and say goodbye.
b. Have you ever been to a foreign funeral?
No, I've never been. However, I watched American funeral on TV. I was interested in wearing sunglasses. Why do some people(especially, women) wear sunglasses at funeral??
2. The language of Clothes (preparation for next weeks topic):
a.Why are Japanese designer label crazy? Why is what you wear so important?
I guess that Japanese want to express their status. If someone wear famous designer label clothes or accessories, others think she is rich and luxurious.
b.What does “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” mean to you?
I think the meaning is "Don't judge a person by his or her appearance such as their clothes." Most People are diffrerent from their appearance.

Hello!

Japanese express the status by wearing bland items.
While, other country people, why do they wear bland item?
