There must be so many different cultures and rules in the world because culture shock can happen even between Japanese people.The important thing is to understand and respect those cultures, and not to criticize or dislike them just because they are different from my way of thinking. Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween, etc. all came from overseas and the Japanese people enjoy it by changing it to fit their own style. That is great way to enjoy different cultures. My ALT teacher told me a lot of interesting stories about cultural differences and that's how I got interested in foreign country.
I'd love to do a seriously scary Halloween one day!
Learning a language may be a good opportunity to learn about the culture of a country. Then, learning a language itself can be a great motivation. (Koyo)
