It was a culture shock to me.
I had a culture shock when I was in Kazakhstan for my exchange student program.
At that time, I live in dormitory with one of student from Uzbekistan.
He is older than me , so I want to be polite to him. So I told him that,
" I`ll doing something more when we clean our room, because I`m younger than you."
But he told to me "That does not t make sense. I`ll doing something more when we clean our room,
because I`m older than you."
It make me little confusing because I Korea young people doing something more for the older people.

When I was in indonesia for
When I was in indonesia for sightseeing; three years ago - i was experience interesting different cultures.
first, there was different weather. Indonesia always hot weather, so people's skin is infuscate.
second, they have many kinds of tea. i entered jakarta airport, that site blended many teas smell.
finally-other country may have does-when i ate some food, i pay for food cost and give some tips for waiter.
Actyally, that point was shocked. because korea have not tip culture, so we only pay for the food cost.
but indonesia and many other country have tip culture.
before the visited indonesia, i pay for waiter in korea too. i was very embaressed,
but that experience was thaught me different culture system.

I've seen on TV program
I've seen on TV program 'Beautiful Women'
There has never been aired about the cultural differences
The most impressive was the food culture, the cultural differences.
In Korea, there is a dog eat boiled.
In fact, I do not like dog meat, I do not think it's wrong.
Because Korea is a lot of energy was needed for farming lived comfortably.
To replenish the energy I should have eaten the meat, cattle, pigs and dogs less expensive dog on the other hand, whether boiled protein was not recruited.
So why eat dog meat in Korea correctly because once you know about what was wrong to think that it should not blindly believe.

culture differences
I went to travel abroad, but it goes to, I think the biggest cultural difference is the language.
Only the combination of words, then you know to say, We are able to make a mistake.
And there seems to be the difference in food culture.
Our country, put in one place as a side dish to eat and eat, etc.
This is not the case in foreign countries.
If you have foreign friends, the family sat at the table I would like to inform you eat. Culture.

What is an example of a culture difference that you have experie
when foreigners come to korea, they surprise to kimchi.
To korean, kimchi is needed food in any time when we eat something.
korean eat it when they have breakfast ,have a snack .. usually they have it around them.
When foreigner visit my contury, they have a strange feel that we have to take off a shouse in the room.
because they don't have to take off a shouse in the room.
and they don't have to use the honorific form of language.
but we must use the honorific to older people.
