Culture shock between Asia (China) and European countries (America) which discusses lifestyle and work. Culture Shock that occurred between Asia (China) and Europe (America)

1. Chinese people are often seen squatting and can do it easily compared to Europeans.

The reason for completing the culture shock differences above is that there are differences in toilets, Chinese people prefer squatting toilets because the cost is cheap, and people are more interested in using squat toilets than sitting toilets, therefore Chinese people are easier to do squats than with Americans. For Americans themselves, they are rarely seen squatting because they are not used to it, because they don't care about their image in public and only for comfort, and also they find it very tiring to touch the ground with their fingers.

2. The habit of Chinese people drinking hot water, compared to European countries that live only drinking cold water from the tap. The Chinese people have been drinking hot water since the second world war, they really believe that drinking hot water has an important role for health, while in European countries like America, they often drink water from the tap that has been provided.

3. Chinese people can't stand work compared to other European countries. Basically China implements a hard work system for a successful economy, like the Ali-baba company that implements a hard work system, therefore, people in China must be mentally prepared to work.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the culture shocks that make me shocked the most was that China implemented a system of long working hours, therefore i really admire Chinese people who can work almost a dozen hours a week for the sake of success and the realization of an advanced economy, but it would be better if the company could slightly reduce the system of working hours, because it might have an impact on the health and mental health of future generation.

When I listen to the podcast, I really enjoy it, because the accent and pronunciation are very clear, the vocab is also very familiar, making it very easy to draw conclusions. But the pronunciation is a bit fast, so I had to pause a few times to understand more what was being said. And also stop for writing and translate from pronunciations of vocabs have never heard before.

Culture shock is feeling in which a person feels depressed when he/she surprised when faced with a new environment and culture

It's about ourselves, about how we should love ourselves, how we don't compare ourselves to others, ourselves who will determine the direction and purpose of where we are going, our dreams and our hopes. That way you don't see other people. By the real you :)

AE 1145 - Interview: Japan, Language Learning, Cringey YouTube Polyglots & More with David Rajaraman - Part 2

Welcome to another awesome chin-wagging episode here on the Aussie English podcast! Today's guest is David Rajaraman! Last time, we talked about how he went from India, to Brunei, to Australia, then to Japan, all in just about 30 years of his life In today's episode, we talk about how David grew up bilingual then realised that that wasn't the norm in many places around the world! This seems to be specifically in English speaking countries, where most people are monolingual. We also talk about cultural differences between Japan and Australia. Like what happens if you lose your wallet in public, or how you're treated if you have tattoos. We talk about tight versus loose cultures. Tight, being more conservative and strict, whereas loose cultures are more relaxed and open. We even talk about the Japanese mafia known as the Yakuza. We talk about the phenomenon of Westerner, YouTube polyglots who are learning foreign languages and native speakers being shocked when they reach an advanced level! But it's sort of puzzling why, when non-Westerners (i.e. a Chinese guy) learn English to a very advanced level, people don't seem to mind at all! Let me know what you think about this episode!

Aussie English - AE 673 - Australian Culture Shock: 10 x Weird Things About Life in Australia!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Learn Australian English in this episode where I talk about Australian Culture Shock: 10 x Weird Things About Life in Australia!

# data[].attributes.body
Culture Shock according to the speaker's experience moving to Australia from Brazil:

1. Used cars in Australia are much cheaper

This first culture shock made the speakers a little shocked about the many luxury cars he often found in Australia, apparently the reason is because used cars in Australia are very cheap compared to other European countries. Meanwhile, in Brazil it is relatively cheap for used cars too, but in Australia it is much cheaper.

2. Cuts of meat

In Australia, barbecue cuts are very different from the original, they are rarely found and it is very difficult to find suitable cuts of meat for barbecue, for example Korean style barbecue cuts. So to get the right cut of meat, you have to have a butcher cut it for you. While in Brazil it is very easy to find the size of the cut of meat that is suitable for barbecue needs.

3. Toilet Paper

In Australia we use toilet paper, and the most surprising thing is that you can flush toilet paper, down the toilet. It’s really amazing. While in Brazil use Toilet paper too, but the sewer system isn’t set up to be able to handle flushing of toilet paper, so instead of flushing it you have to put it in a bin next to the toilet and empty that every day. So there you go, toilet paper was the one of those strange things in Australia that you can flush down the toilet.

4. Coffee Culture

In Australia, especially in big cities like Sydney and Melbourne, there is a very high interest in coffee, for that there are so many different kinds of coffee beans that can be found, and they have their own way of serving it. Therefore, it is not surprising that Australia has a variety of delicious coffee.

5. Barbecue at camping grounds and at the beach

In Australia, the average camping place provides gas holder and barbecue equipment without having to bring your own fuel for cooking, so it's not surprising that many people barbecue everywhere with the tools provided. Whereas in Brazil the culture is very strange and unusual.

6.Put unused things in front of the house, and it's free, and people know that what is placed in front of the house is trash that can be reused, and they can pick it up anytime.

7.drinking water from the tap, the water from tap in Australia is safe to drink, and can drink it from anywhere, such as can drink water out of the shower when take bath, and can drink water comes out of the pipes in your house. And this is in really different in Southeast Asia and in Brazil who cannot drink water from the tap.

8.Cities in Australia are quite safe, so some people don't lock their homes or vehicles when they are traveling, if in Brazil it is possible for crime to occur.

9.Walking in Australia is very safe especially at night like in the city of Melbourne or Sydney, in contrast to Brazil which is less safe when walking at night.

10.Australia is pretty clean with trash, it's just that there are some people who throw their cigarette butts on the ground, usually there is a trash can in close proximity when walked.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the culture shocks that made me surprised and amazed is that in Australia it is very simple and easy to dispose of toilet paper, just flush it and put it in the toilet again without having to throw it in the trash. And it can be a new innovation for other countries. But of course must have to be able to manage the water regulation so that it stays smooth and pay attention to the disposal of waste that should not harm and endanger the ecosystem and environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoy listening to it, but not the pronunciation, because the accent is a little different from what I've always heard, and very different from both American and British accents. As for the vocab, it's not that difficult and it's still very familiar which makes it easy to catch the core of the podcast, and I had to repeat the podcast to better understand the essence of the podcast.

In this episode, I take a dive into 10 common English proverbs. Wait! What's a proverb? A proverb is basically an idiom you use to give advice or even share some wisdom. Examples? Well, today we're looking at: Two's company, three's a crowd. Too many cooks spoil the broth. When in Rome, do as the Romans. When it rains, it pours. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Where there's a will, there's a way. Out of sight, out of mind. Don't cry over spilt milk. If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Great minds think alike. + a bonus proverb at the end. We also look at how we can shorten these proverbs and how we can replace them with the mega-useful phrase "Well, you know what they say ..." Enjoy! :) Music: bensound.com

The Clark and Miller English Podcast - Episode 11 - Three Things That Surprised Me About The UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Sometimes your own culture can surprise you. After a couple of years away from the UK, I got some serious culture shock when I came back to visit. Pick up some advanced English phrases from the story of my trip.

# data[].attributes.body
Culture shock in the UK is very surprising for speakers and very different from in their country, Culture shock here depict a necessity to learn to know more about a new culture in any country, whether just visiting or staying.

So there are three important points about the culture shock that occurred in the UK:

1. The UK is incredibly Multicultural and Ethnically diverse

The first culture shock is amazing, which is about being multicultural and ethnically diverse. Examples can be taken from several speakers' experiences, namely about the existence of Mexican restaurants and there are also places to eat served by Bengalis, who are predominantly Muslim, and they provide halal beef and drinks. Two very different human sides and live side by side.

2. The UK is highly institutionalized

Speakers said that the UK is really a very institutionalized country. An example from the speaker's experience is that there are many signs, and they are often encountered, such as "no parking", "keep going", "turn right". Next is public toilet facilities which also give signs that require them to be used as needed and not for too long.

3. British drunk people can be really loud and kind of scary

So in the UK a lot of drunk people are loud and a little scary, but that only happens to some people.

# data[].attributes.body
The culture shock of this podcast about the UK gave me new knowledge, which I had never heard of before. The thing that surprised me from this culture shock in the UK was that it turns out that UK people when they are drunk they will make a loud and very scary sound even if only partially, and I think that is a lesson that I can take.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker used a very familiar vocab so I don't really difficult to conclude from this podcast, and for an accent that I can understand, the speaker used an American accent, so it's very clear. And I've also learned to listen to a podcast in full first without pause it and then after finished I played it back and pause it if there's something I don't understand.

Title of Topic              : My 6 Culture Shock when moving to America

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After growing up in Serbia, living in Hungary and Italy I moved to America. Which was a pretty big jump for me! Physically and culturally. So yes, I experienced plenty of culture shock.
I left Europe 10 years ago, so I kinda forgot most of these cultural differences. I had to sit down and look at some pictures to relive my memories. At the end I made a list of 6 things that were culturally different from my experiences I had previously in my life. I would also like to say that these culture shocks are from a viewpoint of somebody moving from Europe to the US. Because I'm sure those of you coming from other countries or continent may experience something different.

Back in GMM podcast episode #14 I was talking about my immigration to America and Green Card process. So this is kind of a continuing story as I got married and started my life here.

This country is so big, and there are many various areas, so I wanted to outline that most of my experiences came from west coast. (Washington State, Idaho, Oregon...) Now we live in Arizona, but I'd like to believe that my culture shock has worn out by now. After 10 years I don't think that you can shock me with anything anymore.

1, Everything is so big and there are so many options to choose from!

I'm not only thinking about grocery stores and food, but everything that surrounds you. I remember the first thing I've noticed when I came out of the airport and Adam was driving me how big everything felt. The streets, the highway, the cars. Everything was so open and large, so you can really tell how huge this country is and has a lot of space. I remember when we walked into our apartment seeing how big the sink was in the kitchen and the fridge, especially in those tiny little apartments that we rented.

// At the grocery store I would constantly be taking pictures because I found something new and unique at every aisle. There where ton of variety, flavors, sizes, textures...Cereals, big gallons of milk, tons of different cheese, soda and chips... I was so overwhelmed with options and variety that was given to me.

Speaking of food. I've quickly noticed that Americans love to rely on fast food, and not just restaurants, but also purchasing them at the grocery story. And it's really true that lots of Americans would actually use this convenience and time saving, even if they know that it's not the healthiest option.

//As we had children I noticed in the restaurant how they have a separate kids menu, so they can choose a different food from what the rest of the family is eating. They can also draw and do some activities on the menu which was pretty cool. And the funny thing is that no matter what kind of restaurant you go to, the kids menus are almost always the same. You can choose from mac and cheese, corn dog, pizza, chicken strips... Oh let's not forget about fries! So this was another culture shock for me to see how differently they are treating the kids, because in Europe the whole family eats the same food.

//Let's not forget about the free water that always comes with ice.

2, Everything is based on convenience and saving time, and everything is really fast paced!

//Most of the things you can find here are disposable. Like paper plates, which was really interesting for me to experience. We don't have them in our house, because I don't think I would ever get used to it, but everywhere else we go they use them. So they don't have to do the dishes. It's easier and saves time.

//Lot of things are packaged. Little bags in big bags. Which also goes for convenience and practicality. So people won't throw food away so often.

//You can find drive thru almost everywhere. Not just at fast food restaurants, but ice cream and coffee shops, banks, pharmacy, also have the options to get things done from your car.

//There is no (or very little) public transportation.

3, People are extremely friendly and polite.

My parents notice this every time they come to visit, because it's just something you can't get enough of. People passing by on the street would smile and you, wave. Strangers would chit-chat with you at the elevator, restaurant or the cashier at the store. People would let you in at the door, give up their parking spot. So when you come to America that's really a culture shock in a good way, because they make you feel like you really matter!

But can friendliness from a stranger be too much? When I would go to the cashier at the store or restaurant, sometimes they would ask me 'What are your plans for today?' or 'What have you been doing today?' which I find very personal and uncomfortable to answer.

//'How are you?' 'How is everything?' Really just means 'Hi' and they don't actually want to know how are you doing. I know it's a little bit weird thing for foreigners to understand.

//What drives me crazy with my husband is when he gets into this 'politeness-zone', especially when it's a situation with big crowd, we need to find a seat at an event, or get in line at the grocery store. I'm more like a fighter-for-my-spot type of person, which in the same time drives Adam crazy. Yep, we drive each other crazy pretty often! Haha!

People in America don't really feel the pressure for fighting for their place. They tend to give each other more space and to be more distant, polite and respectful. Because we don't do that in Europe! Especially in Italy. There is no line, you just have to get in front of the war zone and get what you want.

//I've also noticed that people here are not so connected and close to their family. This may be because of large distances and moving from one state to another, but Americans like to keep their life more private. Despite the distance, I talk with my mom almost every day and that's normal for us. My husband finds it weird that I share everything with my family and I consider that as a cultural difference between us.

//The word friendship has a different meaning. In Hungary I had friends with much deeper connection then what I was able to develop with anybody here. This may also be because people don't really like to talk about their personal life, put themselves out there, or get to close. Even physically. While here in America you greet your closest friends and family with hugging, in Europe we kiss on our cheeks.

4, Gatherings and parties means playing games

This was a funny culture shock for me. When I started creating friendships here, they were surprisingly surface based for me. Like I've mentioned already, the meetings where mostly short chats. Deep and meaningful conversations were rare in my experience. (And I hope this wasn't because of the lack of my English knowledge.)

//Most of the gatherings are about doing some type of activity together. Watching a game, playing a game...Americans have lots of games to play. Board games, video games, sports or drinking games. Watching movies. Watching games, if they are not playing it. So most conversations go around that game and goes with that activity. In Europe we just sit down with a bottle of wine or coffee, and just hang out and talk for hours.

//Every party, event, wedding, birthday party, and celebration is organized, structured and scheduled. Everything is timed. For example every birthday party or wedding would have the same timeline, same activity and it's expected from everybody.

5, There are so many rules, laws and expectations and everything works and functions perfectly!

There are also lots of rules and signs everywhere. Which was also a fun culture shock for me and I especially enjoyed photographing them.

//Speaking of expectations: Americans expect you to have perfect teeth! That's something very important for them. They put lot of time, effort and money into making sure they keep their teeth perfectly lined up, clean, and white.

6, There is no such a thing as saying 'I Love You' too much!

American couples would tell each other 'I love you' like you are saying hi or goodbye to somebody. It was a bit strange for me in the beginning, because in other cultures it's not something you throw around easily. But now I don't even notice it. It's just part of our conversations and every day talk. The bigger culture shock for me was when I noticed that friends would often tell each other 'I love you' or 'I miss you'. It was especially hard to hear, because you don't do that in Hungary, especially if it's the opposite sex. This was something I had to understand as part of the culture.

Getting Married Multiculturally - 018: My 6 culture shocks when moving to America

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
After growing up in Serbia, living in Hungary and Italy I moved to America. Which was a pretty big jump for me! Physically and culturally. So yes, I experienced plenty of culture shock. I left Europe 10 years ago, so I kinda forgot most of these cultural differences.

# data[].attributes.body
This culture shock is about speakers who grew up in Serbia, lived in Hungary and Italy and last moved to America. So speakers spend a lot of time with European countries and then move to America.

1.       Everything is so big and there are so many option to choose from

First about  “everything is so big” “a place where everything looks big, like grocery stores and food, even though the streets, the highway, the cars, everything are so large. And other place like a small apartment but feels very big, example the sink in the kitchen and the fridge.

Second about “so many to choose from”, so in America there are lots of choices on the food menu, and the children's menu has lots of choices too. Very visible difference with European culture because in Europe the whole family eats the same food.

2.       Everything is based on convenience and saving time, and everything is really fast paced

First about “saves time” in America most of things are disposable can find, like plates, and most people use disposable plates, so they don’t have to do the dishes. It’s easier and saves time. Second about “convenience” like lot of things are packaged. Little bags in big bags, which also goes for convenience and practically, so people won’t throw food away so often. Third about “Fast passed” like can find drive thru almost everywhere, not just at fast food restaurants but for ice cream, coffee shops, bank, pharmacy, also have the option to get things done from your car.

3.       People are extremely friendly and polite

Example like people passing by on the street would smile and you, wave, and strangers would chit-chat with you at the elevator, restaurant or the cashier store.

4.       Gathering and parties means playing games

First about “Gathering” and most of the gatherings are about doing some type activity together. Watching game, playing a game, and Americans have a lots of game to play. Second “Parities” like every party, wedding, birthday is organized structured and scheduled. For example like every birthday would have the same timeline, same activity.

5.  There are so many rules, laws and expectations and everything works and function perfectly

For example, there are also lots of rules and signs everywhere.

6.  There is no such a thing as saying “I love you” too much

The culture shock that made me shocked about America and never heard before that is about most Americans using disposable plate because simple, and practical and they don't require to wash the dishes, but what needs to be considered is about the waste from the plate, of course it must be able to manage the waste properly so as not to harm the surrounding environment.

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, because in addition to being able to gain new knowledge about culture shock in America, this podcast also made it very easy for me to draw conclusions easily, of course because of the use of accents and clear pronunciation, and I also learned to listen in detail to the contents of the podcast without having to pause it.
