Im really interested in the culture of countries.

I dont know why, but I always think


other cultures are more interesting than my own culture. Every time I travel, I learn
wonderful, strange, amazing and interesting things about other cultures. One of the
biggest surprises I had was when I went to USA as a child. Im English so I thought
Americans had the same culture as me. When I went to America I
understood Americans and Brits are very different people. Understanding the
culture of other people is very important. It helps us all to get along. If everyone
really tried to learn about other cultures, the world would be a more peaceful place.
The world is becoming smaller, so I think this is happening.

cultural alike?
