this is the story when I went to Australia.
they don't eat cup-noodle with soup!
they put powder in the cup, pour hot water, wait, and then pour out the water.
It doesnt have taste lol
and they eat it like pasta because they dont like the sound of eating noodle.
when i was eating cup-noodle like all Japanese do, they were so surprised and didnt like it.
this is the story when my family hosted Chinese girl for 3 days.
We had a Chinese girl from my school's exchange program.
when I met her at the first time, I was a little nervous but she took my hand and pulled me to herself.
she introduced herself with very smiley face so I was very surprised but very happy at the same time.
Japanese are shier than Chinese, I thought.
this is the story when I went to Korea.
we stayed at our friend's house for 2 days.
his mother cooked Korean food for us.
there was a bowl of soup in the center of us and all Korean put their spoons into the bowl and drink it.
they have soup from one bowl!
I had never seen Japanese had done such things so I was very surprised.
every time I meet foreigners and stay with them, I find many gaps between us.
sometimes I can't understand or stand them.
But this makes the world very interesting and wonderful place.
to try to accept them is the best way to be a good friend of them, isnt it?
We experienced many culture shock when we went to korea together! These are good memories though^^
ReplyDeleteYes, it would be a boring world if we were all the same. Chinese usually seem very friendly and outgoing to me. When I was in Taiwan I learned that it's a sign of good relations between people to speak loudly. Even in the small cafe I was in, the two women at the next table were talking SO loudly. I don't like the Korean idea of sharing the same soup bowl though!
