Custom Differences.
There are many things in the U.S. that are totally different from my country. Here are some examples. First, American’s stores always have sales at the end of each season and during holidays. Sometimes there is big sale in a big holiday like Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day… But in Vietnam, the price of all items such as food, clothes will increase during holidays, especially for New Year Day. The price will not go down until after the events, or it’ll continue to go up the next year, so Vietnamese people are afraid of holidays and New Year. Second, Americans love pets and treat pets well like their friends or like their kids. Americans will get in trouble if they treat pets badly. Pets eat good food and play toys, and sometimes they sleep with their owners. Vietnamese don’t treat pets like that. Most of pets eat food that left over from the owners. They aren’t allowed to step into the owners’ rooms and cannot watch TV. Sometimes if the owners are not happy, they hit their pets badly. Sometimes pets run out of their houses, go alone without their owners, and they’ll return home after several days by themselves. Third, Vietnamese don’t get in line as American do. They are not organized, and they aren’t patient to wait in line. Those are some differences in customs between 2 countries. There are many interesting customs from other countries in the world that are fun and useful for us to learn about.
