Learn about cultural differences is a good way of understanding more about each other.

In Britain, it’s rude not to open a present when someone give you one. They like to see how person reacts. At a wedding ceremony in Korea, they have a live hen and a rooster as a part of them. Roosters are supposed to drive bad spirits away, and hens are thought to ensure good luck for the marriage.

In Brunei, at wedding receptions men and women have to sit in seperate areas. Another difference is that alcohol is not permitted at the wedding reception—in fact, alcohol is altogether prohibiting in Brunei. In many countries people point to their first finger. However, in Brunei that can cause offence, so they use their thumb to point. It’s quite funny watching foreigners trying to adjust to do that. They have trouble get acccustomed to it.

What is really interesting that there are sometimes great cultural differences between native English speakers. Even though Americans and Brits share the same language , their customs are not always alike. For example, many Brits have fond childhood memories of Bonfire Night, but some Americans are not familiar to that particular festival. It is a celebration which takes place on November 5th every year.

Therefore, we should understand a lot more about different cultures and know that is appropriate behavior. 四. Writing
