We had our penultimate cultural workshop on the 19th. Kyle
briefed everyone on the project that the CIES students would be working on.
Apparently, our respective groups are supposed to showcase cultural differences,
which can be classroom culture, romance, hospitality, etc., between our
countries and the CIES students are to present in a career fair-type fashion.
We received an outline on how the project is supposed to be made and after a
few minutes of figuring out what to do started listing topics on what to talk
about. Our countries are Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Burkina Faso, and the US and as
we went through the list we asked the CIES students something that is
particular about that certain topic to their culture, such as the 90 degree
hand raising in Vietnam and serving tea in Burkina Faso. The brainstorming
activity was really fun and it allowed us to get an objective perspective of
our own culture.
