I accidentally brought up the 'wrong' side of the family history at a dinner in Kyoto
We were at my wife's cousin's house and I mentioned her great-uncle who moved to Osaka after the war, which turned the room quiet for a solid minute. I just said 'I think that's a story for another time' and asked about the garden, which got things moving again. Anyone else put their foot in it while trying to learn about family stuff in a different culture?

Tara_williams1 has a point, but sometimes those quiet moments are the real history lessons.
