A cross culture experience

Learning to live in another culture can be just as difficult as learning the language. To some, it is important to go to another country and learn about the way other people live.

It is hard to live in another country. Living overseas is a cross-cultural experience. I stayed in Mainland for half a year. I have to learn a whole new way of life and understand the way of others live. Maybe we think they talk too loud, their environment is too dirty. Some Mainlander eat cats, dogs, and snakes even you can see they kill cats in the market. It is their custom and it doesn’t sound like something we’d eat at our country. But we can’t be prejudiced about a country and its people just because of stereotypes and what others say.

We have to keep an open mind if you’re going to live in another culture. When living in another culture you have to respect their traditions. Perhaps it’ll give us a new perspective and help us understand things better.
