Cultural differences , big issues to concern !!!!

Thanks for loving my topic !!
Maybe I did misunderstand U but all the thinhs I wanna say is just to emphasize that Cultural Differences learning is very interesting and very significant !!
Today , I don''t have other articles about some strange customs in many other countries on me !! I ''ll post it tomorrow !!
Happy to know 3 of us r in this topic !!

Hì hì, cái anh Captor_of_sin này, không chịu lắng nghe em nói gì cả.
I sense no encouragement in your voice.
Lol, maybe we ourshelves have cultural differences, specifically in our way to express our idea. If yes, we must harmonize to go on, anh captor_of_sin nhỉ
Or there is something wrong with our English ????
thoáng em đến như trăng mùa cũ...thoáng em đến câu thơ vừa chữ...thoáng em đến ngỡ như muôn trùng...thoáng em ghé như hoa phù dung...đã chia sớt cho ta lửa ấm...đã nuôi lớn trái tim lặng câm...từ em qua có đêm bình yên...vì em đấy mà ra thiêng liêng... 

Hì..hì, cái em bé sgh này tại sao lại nói là there''s no word of encouragement in my post??? Hì..hì... Now I got it, yeah, I got it now, why you DID think so! he, he, it must be ''cause so far in your life you''ve been listening to nothing else but nice, diplomatic, polite, or delicate words. So when you hear my words which are crafted not to criticize you in my thinking but maybe so in your ears for the reason I told you above, you thought I sounded rather acerbic or so to speak, but not at all. Perhaps the way I speak is always an "earsore" to others. So sorry!
Or perhaps my written English is so bad that I can''t make myself well understood??? also a possibility ''cause, if you recall, I said in the previous posts that I''m here to learn English and to learn from you two freshmen of FTU or IIR. Please go back if you want to verify that. OK???
You hear that? That is the sound of inevitability...

Hì hì, cái anh captor_of_sin này lại không lắng nghe em nói rồi.
I just said that I sense no encouragment in your voice. i did not say that you criticized me, as well as did not say I was tetchy for that

CULTURES JUST DIFFERENT , NOT RIGHT OR WRONG , BETTER OR WORSE.
We must not make the value judgements as to whether or not cultural behavior is good or bad , better or worse . There is no culturea right or wrong , just difference .
People arond the world feel as strongly about their cultures as we do about ours . Every country thinks its culture is the best and for every foreign peculiarity that amuses us , there is an American peculiarity that amuses others . The Chinese tell American dog jokes , reflecting their amazement that we could feel the way we do about an animal that the Chinese consider better for eating than petting . And we are surprised that the French take their dogs to the finest restaurants , where the dogs might be served at the table .

Hello ! I dont knoe exactly if I am added to be a SEC member, but I want to discuss something with you guys about this topic.
I have just been in Australia for 3 months, it''s not a long time to understand completely another culture I think. One of my relatives said to me, and I think she''s right "Some people have wrong thinkings like these :
- We live in Australia, so we MUST be Australians. We shouldn''t study Vietnamese. We are lucky to leave Vietnam, a poor country.
- We are Vietnameses. Although we grew up in Australia, we have to keep our culture and we don''t need to participate anything from Australian culture.
The most importance is, we are Vietnameses and we live in Australian culture."
Learning from different cultures is good work to keep on doing. We can learn the way people are friendly, the way they say "hello" to all whom they meet but they dont know, the way they say thank you and sorry politely all times... We can keep the way our asian behaviour is, we can keep the way not being as ***y as western girls... Those are some examples. I mean, we dont need to do as local people do. We just need to know, what is right, and what is wrong. And if we can broaden our knowledge by learning more a bout a culture, what we get is not as simple as that...
