| | In the world of globalization there exist many cultural differences. Especially in America, an immigrant country. One thing I learned, in my studies abroad, that varies from country to country is their concept of time. For example, the Danes are very blunt, they say what they mean and do what they say. If they set an appointment at 2pm, they will be there at 2pm. This leads me to my next point.
If you have an Indian/Pakistani friend, here is some helpful advice. If they say, "Let's meet at the gym at 2:00-2:30 to play ball" It really means, "I'm going to show up at the gym at 4:30"
Because of this cultural miscommunication, I played basketball for about 4 hours. It was good and I feel in shape, but my body is aching. Right now, I would do almost anything to be in Sweden getting a Swedish massage.
Additionally, my last semester starts on Tuesday. I am just 16 hours away from graduating. Crazy. And if graduting was not enough incentive, Mardi Gras in New Orleans! Feb 26-29 Who's down???
