“I went to California last month. One day, I was sick. I went to a drugstore to buy something. When I left, the clerk said, “Have a nice day.” “Well,” I thought. “Of course I’m not going to have a nice day” when it is not a friend’s birthday or something and I am sick”

Kurt Meyer, Germany “I live in Queenstown, New Zealand. People come here from all over the world to ski. I go skiing every

weekend in winter, so I meet a lot of interesting people. Recently, I met a guy named Xiao Ping, from Beijing, China. He was a great skier. I’ll never forget one conversation. It went something like this: Xiao Ping: I’m not that good.

Me: No, really. You ski very well.

Me: You’re a great skier!

Xiao Ping: I fall down all the time. You’re probably a better skier than I am.

Me: But… Xiao Ping: I’m lucky, that’s all. I’m not a great skier.

Later, I discovered he was in the last Winter Olympics! I couldn’t believe it. I guess people from China can be really modest!”

Nick Templeton, New Zealand

“I went to Korea to see my friend, Sang-Woo. When I met his family, I called Sang-Woo’s father by his first name. Suddenly, everyone looked at me. They were very upset. Sang-Woo told me it was rude. You shouldn’t use an older person’s first name.”

Laura Fuentes, Mexico “I went to school in Spain for a year when I was younger. The students were noisy. They shouted the answers. They spoke while the teachers were speaking.

They asked questions all the time. They sometimes called teachers by their names too. I felt that they weren’t very respectful. In Singapore, it’s very different”
