Hello everyone, I'm PK. I want to tell a trip that I travelled.

When I was fifteen years old, I went to India with my family to make a pilgrimage to Buddha Gaya. When we reached there, we met a lot of Indian and they greeted us the word " Namaste ". I understood that word because I've ever watched a lot of Indian movies. But my family members didn't understand that word. So, they asked me the meaning of it. I explained it means " Min Ga Lar Par" in Myanmar. When they know it, they said " Namaste " again to Indian people. In India, "Namaste" is the most common and traditional way to greet each other. When Indian say "Namaste", they always make the lovely physical behavior. They make a slight bow their bodies and hands pressed together. I like this behavior.

In India, there is another culture to greet when Indians meet their elders, they often bend down and touch their feet with their hands, and then touch their own forehead or eyes with their hands as a way of seeking blessings and as a sign of respect, gratitude, and humility.

When we reached to the hotel, we needed to change our dresses. So, I observed the dressing in India. Dressing is so amazing in there because we can see various designs of it. India has a long history of textile production and has been known for its vibrant and colorful clothing for centuries. Indian men always wear Dhoti that has a long piece of fabric that is wrapped around the waist and legs, Kurta Pajama that consists of a long tunic and loose-fitting pants and Sherwani that is a long coat that is worn over a kurta and pajama. Indian women always wear Saree that is a long piece of fabric that is wrapped around the waist and legs, Salwar Kameez that consists of a long tunic and loose-fitting pants and Lehenga Choli that consists of a long skirt and a tight-fitting top. I like wearing Dhoti style so I wore the white color.

When we want to go one place to another, we have to choose two options: bus and train. Thus, we chose to go by train. The train winded its way through diverse landscapes, from bustling cities to rural villages, and from lush forests to arid deserts. We saw people from all walks of life, from farmers tending to their fields to children playing in the streets.

On the train, we heard the chatter of fellow passengers, the vendors calling out their wares, and the occasional blast of music from a nearby station. The aroma of spicy food wafted through the air, mingling with the scent of incense and the smell of diesel fuel. Sometimes, we got a whiff of the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers. We can sample a variety of local cuisine, from spicy curries to sweet pastries, and from hot tea to cold drinks. The train's pantry car offers a range of snacks and meals, and we can also buy food from vendors at stations.

Thank you so much for your reading my story.

Firstly, the local Malaysian greeting in is the "Salam" and can be described as a handshake with both hands but without the grasp. When they met each other they said "Salam" after "Selamat Pagi" in English Good Morning. Something there was accident happened suddenly they said "Maafkan Saya" meaning of Sorry. And then they was cheerful and thanked to another they said " Terima Kasih". The Malaysian spoke their languages and second was English. The local language writing was used English font. When visiting someone's home, they said " Apa Khabar" in the meaning of Good Morning and offered a small gift for the hostess, such as fruits, sweets or crafts, will be greatly appreciated. Theses gestures are known as " Buah Tangan"-" fruits of the hands." Girts are given and received with both hands as a sign of respect. Malaysia had a lot food and they all were cheap. I tasted Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai and Tay o' ice lemon. There had a lot of food streets and mostly ate in the evening. People often ate with their hands. Restaurants may not provide utensils but instead place a water pitcher on the table and water basin in front of the restaurants, so everyone can wash their hands before using them to eat.

There is no law preventing people from taking photographs in public. This includes taking photos of other people's children, If you are taking photographs from private land, you need to have the land owner's permission. The interesting palaces which can take photographs are Petronas Twin Towers, Batu Caves, KLCC Tower, Langkawi Skybridge, ESCAPE Penang and Genting Highlands. Malaysia is every shopper's paradise and for a good reason the country boasts of huge, sprawling western malls with indoor amusement parks and large, open markets that promise a true Asian street shopping experience. For most day-to-day travels, people in Malaysia use a car or motorbike to get around. For long distance travels, some people take the KTM, the main commuter train Malaysia, or a bus.

If I have a chance to visit again Malaysia, I want to travel there in the next time.

Italy, a country in Europe, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and world-famous cuisine, making it a top destination for travelers around the globe.

          In Italy, greetings are an important part of social interactions, and there are several customs, depending on the context and the level of familiarity.

• Handshake: In formal situations or when meeting someone for the first time, a firm handshake is common. This applies to both men and women.

• Kiss on the Cheeks: Among friends, family, or close acquaintances, it is common to greet with two kisses on the cheeks (starting with the right cheek, then the left). This is more prevalent in southern Italy but is common throughout the country.

           Dressing appropriately is often seen as a reflection of respect for oneself and others in Italy. Italians are also known for their sense of style and fashion, so clothing is important in many social situations.

• Casual Wear (Daily Life): Even in casual settings, Italians tend to favor well-fitted and stylish clothes. For example, jeans are often paired with a nice shirt or blouse rather than a basic T-shirt.

• Formal and Business Attire: In professional settings, formal attire is expected. Men typically wear tailored suits with a tie, and women often wear elegant dresses or well-cut skirts and blouses. Black and dark tones are common, and clothing is expected to be neat and ironed.

• Cultural Etiquette: For formal events like weddings or religious festivals, Italians often dress elegantly, with men wearing suits and women in dresses. It’s common to see stylish hats or accessories, especially during special occasions.

• Attention to Detail: Italians take pride in their appearance, and small details such as well-maintained shoes, a crisp shirt, or a stylish accessory can make a big difference. Even in informal situations, attention to grooming and accessories is expected.

          Visiting someone's house in Italy involves several customs that reflect the importance of hospitality and respect for the host.

• Bringing a Gift: It is customary to bring a small gift when invited to someone's home. A common choice is a bottle of wine, flowers, or a box of chocolates. If the hosts have children, a small gift for them is appreciated.

• Greeting the Host: Upon arrival, it’s customary to greet the host warmly. If the relationship is close, expect kisses on both cheeks. A handshake is appropriate for more formal or distant acquaintances. It's important to greet everyone present, not just the host.

• Complimenting the Home: Praise the décor. Complimenting the home is considered polite.   Italians often take pride in the appearance and atmosphere of their homes, so showing appreciation for their effort is a nice gesture.

• Knowing When to Leave: Italians enjoy socializing, but it’s important not to overstay your welcome. After coffee or dessert, it's a good time to thank the host and gracefully depart.

• Saying Goodbye: It’s important to personally say goodbye to everyone present when leaving, often with a handshake, a kiss on the cheek, or a simple “Arrivederci” (goodbye).

That's all for now. Thank you for your attention and I appreciate your time.

ARRIVEDERCI, ALL!

My parents got a long holiday in their job.So we are starting  to make a plan for our vacation in Japan.

We had arrived at Japan airport,my relative picked us up with her car.When we arrived at home we must take off our shoes.She explained that why.It is the custom to take off shoes.When entering someone’s house,temple,restaurant and school.Because of many people in Japan have to work hard and experience various difficult outsides.They think home should be a place where they can relax.And then they keep their home clean.Taking off the shoes helps prevent dirty,mud and other outdoor debris from being tracked into the living space.Place our shoes neatly on a shelf, shoe rack or locker or line them up out of the way.We don’t leave them in the middle of the floor.

After2 days ago, we got the invitation letter for wedding at a shrine.That was fascinated. If they wanted to do elegantly for wedding,in Japan, I would wear a beautiful dress.They explained us how treat and supportive for bride and groom.When people get married in Japan,they sometimes they have the ceremony at a shrine.In wedding, we must not wear except a white.It is supposed to wear formal and semi-formal dress.Just as in many Western Country ,white is reserved for the bride .We have to avoid black colour

as well.As black resembles death,mourning and in funeral ceremonies.

After3 days ago, we went to the festival.We wanted to take a photo with my family because of I want to have the memories when we come back our country.A lot of people are not fond of to taking photo without their permission. Some photographers want to get a snapping photo.For example, eating the noodle, drinking and during speaking each other.But it is not acceptable to take without permission.Unfortunately if someone complains about snapping, your behavior could end up landing you in a police station.Japan law continues to protect the right of an individual citizen of privacy.

This is some customary detail what I get from my trip.Thank you
