Q2 In your culture, or the foreign cultures you have lived in, how do people repay the social obligations that come with asking favors or receiving gifts?

In Japan, people keep track of social debt! This is a reason why people presents so often, even when they someone's home. Any sort of imposition must be compensated for. It's a "give and " society, as my Japanese wife often says. I guess people are very aware of this, and maybe that’s why they don’t often for favors.

I have the impression that Japanese people tend not to ask for help, probably because it makes them to the person who helped them. And I’m that many Japanese people I know give gifts in return for gifts, favors, or simply putting others out.

In Pakistan, people usually ask directly for favors, but I think we tend to change our depending on what we’re asking for, and who we’re asking. In return, Pakistani people invite others for a at their home or a restaurant. Or if we go to someone’s house, we always take some fruit or . There is a strong of returning favors.
