something weird
I have been about one year and month in the US, and I didn't get chance to learn about the american culture very well, because i have been hanging out most of my time with my Saudies friends and some friends from other countries. but thing getting change the last four months, I started to meet a lot of american people ,Like my roommates and my neighbors and in the gym in my school from TOLEN university everywhere. My community started to change, and I just found something weird for me. drinking alcohole and and having a boy/Girlfriend is something almost basic in their life, and sometime smoking. and whenever i tell them i dont drink or i dont smoke they look at me like this >>(O_O)'!. How did alcohol and smoking became something basics in the human life or in (Our life) !
Solee my brother, I like the surprising face. Me too I feel making friends from different culture is difficult and I feel sad for that.
ReplyDeleteI have same feeling with y'all. And another thing I want to say is judgmental seems a part of American culture, as far as I understand. The strange face you have encountered appeared in my life a lot too. I felt same way just like you feel. We need a mount of time to go through culture shock.
ReplyDeleteDalal: the problem is not about making friends from different culture, the problem is how to be part of it without following there lifestyle .
ReplyDeleteLeeLoo: seems like your having a hard time living your life here as me :)
