Once again, it's all about subtlety, an aspect of that culture that must be very agreeable when experienced. This Dai-ni button thing is really something lovely.

It was my first time to hear about this Dai-ni button thing... when asked I couldn't relate it to anything done abroad... maybe exchanging college rings? or getting the football captain's varsity jacket? Thanks for the explanation about why it's the second button, simaldeff. It should be obvious why, but I didn't think about it... I was wondering about how they view foreigners in that respect, too. It might be interesting to find out... Thanks for the comments, Neil and simaldeff!

In a country where people seems to be craving that much for romanticism, and yet being unable to express their feeling, sometimes westerners must looks like wolves in a sheep herd.
