Culture is the most effective thing that appears inside every person. Every country have different culture and traditions. Because of this difference people of different countries have different ways of living. When someone travels to another country he/she feels little bit difficulty to adopt the culture. This thing, we can call it culture clash, and it is a wonderful experience.

Getting used to the culture clash is really a beautiful thing. When you belong to a different culture, start adopting a new culture, you feel delighted. By learning about people of different cultural backgrounds, we can increase our horizons, have better interpersonal dialogues and communicate more on a personal level. If you put aside any prejudices or biases you might have and you are open to other people, it can help prepare you to listen, talk and learn about other people and their cultures.

I’m an international student in Vietnam. Studying in Vietnam is a new and beautiful experience for me and I’m enjoying my education here. In the beginning, when I came here, everything was new to me and I was having difficulty. Then I started adopting the culture, and my efforts proved successful.

Vietnam is really a fantastic place to live. The cultural food is one of the best thing that I like most about it. People of Vietnam are kind, optimistic and generous, even they are the heart of country. I’m facing a cultural clash in Vietnam, and it’s kind of interesting thing for me. I have some native friends, and I’m learning their culture. I found that learning a different culture is a fascinating experience. I’m learning Vietnam’s captivating traditions.

Living in Saigon city of Vietnam gives you the real meaning of life. A lot of foreigners, in the form of students or visitors, can be seen easily in Saigon city. Cultural clash occurs in different formats. Below are few of them;

FOOD

Traditionally, in my country the food is kind of different from Vietnam’s traditional food. After spending few months in Saigon city of Vietnam, I’m get used to the traditional food and it seems very delicious to me. Of course there is a difference between mine and Vietnamese food but I’m really enjoying this. It’s a new experience for me and I’m very happy that I got the opportunity to feel, to explore this difference.

CLOTHES
The common clothes people wear in Vietnam is the same like mine, but their traditional dress is different and attractive. I’m interested in the traditional dress of Vietnam and I will try that very soon. I love to experience this difference.

MARTIAL ARTS
To me, martial arts is the most impressive part of Vietnam’s culture. Vietnam’s martial art is highly developed from the country’s long history warfare. Other world including my home country lacks this kind of arts. This martial art has affected me and I’m intend to learn martial art. It’s an essential part of life to defend yourself in any difficulty. I am very glad that the culture difference is providing me the opportunities to learn new and interesting things, furthermore, it made me able to establish myself.
