Cultural Differences & how everyone should take it...

Being in Australia for almost a year have taught me alot...
I met friends from America , Latin America , Africa , Asia , Europe and Definately alot of Aussie friends...
Australia definately have a diversified culture especially in Adelaide...
Because we are known as Education City of Learning....
And City of Festival in the world...
Our ecenomy here is mostly based on Education...
Apart from Tourism and Festival City...

We had crazy adventures like Sea Diving , Hiking , Ice Skating & get lost along the way when we randomly travel around Adelaide.....
Trying Crabbing & Fishing soon after my finals~

I learn alot about other cultures through my friends here...
Like one of my friends, Anastalicia from Russia...
When i met here for the 1st time, as usual i smile as Malaysian Culture..Smiling shows your friendliness and being open to meet new people....She handle our 1st meeting very well..

After sometime hanging out with her, she told me that in Russia...
When you meet someone for the 1st time...You should not smile and show friendly faces as that indicates you dont take them seriously....Wow definately different from Malaysian or some other culture...

One of my friends, Saidil from Syria said smiling and hugging each other in Saudi Arabia, the normal way of greeting new people...Just that the man will hug a man , women will hug a nother women...Not cross gender hug...which follows the religious background....Moahomud From Nigeria explains his culture way of meeting new people by Hand gestures...Wicked signs...

I havent study the validity of these culturse...

As i cant confirm with you whether it is a cultural thing or somethingthat they pick up from day to day life...

But i can assure you something...

That everyone is different...

The differences between us all what makes us great...
I can't imagine living in a world with unified culture...
It would definately be boring and predictable...

As human being our job is simple...
Be empathic and have that willingness to learn and accept other culture's just the way it is...

Take cultural differences as an advantage , not a form of defective...
But with 1 condition....
Manage it well with Empathic Behaviours...

That way we can live in a better world...

God Bless!!
