Saturday-8: "East Meets West"

1. If you are an Eastern/a Western, what do you think of Western/Eastern world and people? Eastern world is quite different, different customs, etc., but I think people are basically the same, have the same wants and needs.
2. Which one you prefer: Eastern or Western food? Why? Western - I'm a picky eater!
3. What qualities you admire the most from the Eastern people (if you are a Western) or the Western (if you are an Eastern), if there's any? Loyalty to family.
4. Do you feel more comfortable with those people of your own rather than people from another race(s)? No, not really. I try not to think "races" but take people as they are. I feel more comfortable with people I know but certainly not because of their race.
5. Have you ever experienced a cultural shock? What is that? Or if you haven't, have you ever "shocked" someone with your culture? No, not really. I went to England and found their culture quite nice. That's the only place outside of the U.S. I've been to.
6. Are you interested to learn about other people's culture? Why and what is that (language, art, etc)? Its always nice to learn about different cultures, but I don't actively go out and learn.
7. Some of us are not the native of the country we're in right now. We are here because of our ancestors. What is your original heritage? Do you still celebrate your original heritage traditional events? Do you mind to tell us what do you and your family usually do on those days? You can share us a picture or a link if you want. The National Holiday we celebrate is the 4th of July. We usually have picnics, spend the day with family and friends, and watch fireworks at night. I really don't know of any "traditions" that were passed down from past generations. My heritage is mostly English, German, Scottish, Irish, and Danish.
8. Tell us the most famous belief/myth/saying/quote/joke (just anything!) of your culture/heritage! Utah sells the most lime Jello in the world. It goes in all the wonderful Jello salads that are made here.
