Q. My husbands Grandfather passed away a couple days ago. They are Japanese and not very close. We are going to go and visit his Grandmother, any tips will be helpful, should I bring a gift? flowers? a plant? make food? please help thanks or Domo :)
A. In Japan, there is a custom to offer condolence money for a funeral, generally in a specific type of envelope. The amount depends on the relation to the deseased.
Probably you'd better ask your relatives close to your husband's grandmother for advice, including whether the condolence payment is necessary.

What are ways to express condolences for a Russian family?
Q. A friend of mine had his mother-in-law die today from a long fight with cancer. The family is Russian (but lives in the US), and I wanted to send something more than flowers, something that would have personal meaning to them. I looked around for ways to express condolences in Russian, but they were all very religious, and they are not.
Does anyone have any ideas? Phrases, gifts, flowers, etc?
Thank you,
Erick

Is there a particular reasoning or superstition behind the German flower custom?
Q. I've been told by several different people throughout my German studies that when visiting a German home and bringing a gift of flowers for the woman of the household, that it is customary to bring an odd number. I was wondering, is there any particular reasoning behind this? A superstition, perhaps? If there is one, might someone explain it?
A. I grew up in Germany, and yes, people do bring flowers when they visit other people's homes.
My mum always bought flowers or some other small present for my grandmothers. Especially when you are invited for a party, you should really bring a gift or flowers for the woman of the house!
With friends it is not so common, and I don't know why it is a tradition. I think it's just common courtesy that you bring something. I was brought up with it and never asked, so I am not sure. I have never heard about the odd number rule either, or that it is a superstition. But it is a nice custom and a very polite thing to do. The woman feels good about the party and the guests don't come with empty hands :)
