This way of thinking is what hinders us from taking a more in-depth look at all the thousands of cultures that exist outside our little bubbles. In fact, this ignorance is what gets many Americans in trouble when they attempt to live their dream and travel the world.
Just to remind you...no one is purely American. Sure, we may have been born here but our ancestry is from elsewhere. Learn about it, embrace it, be multicultural.
In the meantime, here are some things you can take away from the article:
1) Men in Shanghai always carry their spouses purse.2) Do it big and eat at least one raw thing in Japan.
3) Refer to all your elders as auntie or uncle in Singapore. (They do this in Hawaii too.)
4) Don't dare cough in public in Hong Kong unless you're wearing a surgical mask.
