My Cross-Cultural Experiences

1. First cross-cultural lie withs that I shake had in my life * The for the commencement time polish clash I had was on my archetypical trip to Germ each. It was when my friend and me went on a ski trip with our school. We arrived a township call(a)ed Innsbruck where we stayed at a hotel. I got rattling surprised when I first got at that place, the first thing I recognized was the houses they lived in, they all had names on their houses. It was painted on their front wall. This didnt make any sense for me however I was told that it was because slightly of the houses where family houses.And that they rented out rooms. At the resembling twenty-four hour period when we went for dinner at our hotel we got served 4 meals. We first got soup, then salad, the main meal and dessert. This didnt make any sense for me, because foul home I was non use to get 4 meals at a restaurant. That nighttime I went to take a shower but I couldnt record out how to turn on the weewee in the shower. There were three knobs above the tub, so I assumed that they were for hot, warm, and frosty water. I twisted the warm knob, but no water came out.Then I tried the two others, and I did get or so water, but it was either besides ratty or too warm. I was too embarrassed to ask anyone for help with such(prenominal) a simple thing, so subsequently making several unsuccessful attempts, I gave up. I had a cold bathing tub instead. 2. Second cross-cultural experiences that I check had in my life The second experience I had was when I first visited the unite States. When I first arrived Westminster College I was so excited and scared at the same time.I put one over never lived in a community called dorms before and I was not sure how it would work and I had no clue how my roommates would be. The first thing I recognized was how much they talked and their conversation was at a very loud level. The adjacent day I recognized how good the people were, they smiled and they horizontal said hi to me. I got shocked when people even hold the door open when I was far away they would stand there and wait for me.When we went out for dinner that night I was also surprised when I ordered a coke, when I spotless the coke the waitress came out with other one I got confused and told her that it has to be a misunderstanding because I didnt ordered another one. She told me that it was free refuel. I felt kind of stupid, and my roommates started laughing at me because they thought it was funny. I told my roommates that in Norway we have to pay for the refuel and after that they taught me to a greater extent about their culture so I could be more able to align to their culture.
