RE: ADSactly Personal: Tales of Unintended Errors...

in #life6 years ago (edited)

GREAT POST. You remind everyone to give attention to the different of culture. Understanding of different cultures is key to avoid misunderstanding. Like toilet issues. if western culture cleans with tissue, while in eastern world in toilet we use water and soap. If we go to a place with tissue culture in the toilet we will certainly experience culture shock. because the host thought outrageous does not provide water for cleaning. Fortunately, now started many places that introduce cleaning with tissues like in hotels, or malls.

Likewise for us who used to take a bath with a bath and scoop water with scoop will be surprised when entering the bathroom that only uses shower. Surely we would say very politely to have a shower but no water due to cultural ignorance.

The final honor on the corpse also varied. Somebody applauded as the body passed through it like in the western world. In the eastern world it is not so that his family will be angry when the body of his family ditepuktangani. They will think people are being grieved instead of being applauded.
All these differences must be understood so as to avoid misunderstandings

These stories are just the tip of the iceberg, so many different cultures - its really quite interesting how we all do things that we consider quite every day, but even our neighboring countries might deal with differently.

you are right, as the prover another bottom other fish and another field other grasshopper
