An example of a culture difference that I have experienced.
Last winter vacation, I worked at a small shop.
Foreign customers came here once in a while.
One day, three foreign customers came here.
They gave order two chickens and two 500CC draft beers.
By the way, They explained 500CC draft beers that it's 5+5+5+...
Of course, I didn't understand what they said.
I called out for the president.
I realized it for the first time only after he told me.
5+5+5+... have mean the 500CC draft beer.
At that time, I have experienced the culture difference.

Other diet
I have not seen on other countries.
But I have seen on TV, culture differences.
I was so surprised at the Indian diet.
Usually, Korea, spoons, chopsticks are the eating. Hand, do not eat.
However, India does not use a spoon to eat hand was used.
And always with the right hand to eat.
Because when you use your left hand because of the dirty work.
I was amazing to see India and the culture differences.

I have experienced about cultural differences in Malaysia.
This experience is not shocking thing. When I went to Malaysia, I made a new Malay friend.
She took me to her house. I was just little bit surprised because it was first meeting.
Most Korean(Except children) does not take their new friend to their home well to first meeting.
If they are more familiar with each other, they invite their friends to their home.
My Malay friend told me that her Korean friends do not invite her to their house.
So, I explained her the reason.

A culture difference
I don't have experience overseas travel and I don't have any foreign friends.
So I learned about an another country's culture through the book or TV program.
What I feel a culture difference is in American drama TV show called Gossipgirl.
In Gossipgirl, high school students in America always prepare for a joumey in their school.
But in Korean school has many many many constraints.
Also, It has difference how to greet.
American says \hello shaking hands or wave simply without age.
But in Korea, We have to care about age to person when we greet. We have a culture respecting for adults.
For friends, same to America. But for adults, we say hello that hang out waist. This means manner for adults.
I think we have an another culture differences except for what I mantioned.
I want to know about a culture differnece more and more and want to travel to abroad.
The more I know, I experience a new World : )

Around the world, there are many countries and they have their own characteristic cultures.
Sometimes I catch out this cultural differences in my daily life.
For example I found a whiteman trying to eat food with chapsticks in the cafeteria before.
Of couse he could not use chapsticks well.
Since he hasn't use them in his cultures.

this week topic is culture difference. um... there are many culture difference
between country and other country. because each people have different custom.
so people follow their custom. so, culture difference happens as naturally.
I did not experience culture difference but. I know some kind of culture difference.
for example, in japan when they eat meal, they eat rice bowl holding. Japanese people don`t use spoon when they eat rice
using chopsticks to eat rice, they have to hold their bowl.
but in Korea, people didn't eat rice bowl holding. that is culture difference. thanks, bye bye~♪
