One Cultural Barrier I Just Can’t Quite Cross

Åsa’s comment

I’m more or less used to it when it’s for work, but when it comes to my personal life, I still resist letting people pay for me. I don’t want to be a burden on anyone else; I want to be able to stand on my own two feet. It’s a pretty big cultural difference between Sweden and Japan, huh?
