This
post will talk about:
-
Measurement system
-
Using old money
-
Open a gift
America
and other two countries, Liberia (Africa) and Myanmar (South East
Asia) use imperial system such as gallon, feet and yards.
The
rest of the world are using metric system also known as the
international system of units (SI).
Gifts,
just for illustration
The
units of measurement include:
-
kilogram (kg)
-
meter (m)
-
Candela (cd)
-
second (s)
-
ampere (A)
-
kelvin (K)
-
mole (mol)
Another
custom is using paper money. It is no problem to use crinkled or worn
bill, since the bill was circulated quite long in America.
You
should pay to buy somethings with clean or look like new bills in
some developing nations.
The stores will reject the older money. Thus, we may change our
crinkled money to new ones in the banks. Then, use its.
Moreover,
It is custom to open the gift in front the giver in America. The
giver wants to see happiness face of who got the gift.
In
some Asian countries, to open the gift in front the giver is
considered rude behaviors.
For
special occasion in Japan, the gift is wrapped tightly, so, we can’t
open the gift in front the giver practically.

To be continued to part 3
I think it's crazy that we don't use the metric system. For the most part, I adjusted while I lived in Japan. The only one I could never get used to was Celsius.
ReplyDeleteUsing base-10 for everything makes so much more sense!

DeleteMoving from the US to New Zealand was more of a shock that I imagined. I learned not to say 'Happy Holidays!' at Christmastime because they thought I wanted to hear about their vacation (holiday in NZ)!

As anything, I think we are used to what we grow up with and then if we change it can be difficult to relearn. I still wonder why in today's world we still change the time in the spring and fall.
ReplyDeleteI see.... I wonder too, why we change time twice a year

It is a bit of a puzzle why the metric system has not been universally accepted. It is so much easier, and more logical than imperial measurement,
ReplyDeleteAmericans experienced difficulty to change their system.....
