CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

When different people from different cultures get together on a specific place, like in a university, a multinational company, at school, etc. is when most of the times the problems start. This is called cultural differences.
Like I've heard, in a country green hats are worn by those people whose wifes are not happy with them, and in other cultures wearing a hat of any color is not considered embarrassing. Similarly many other problems arise as well.

Fashion...



I'm going to tell some things about fashion:
Fashion are those repetitive trends of clothes, accessories, ways of life or
ways of behaving that marks or modify the conduct of a person. Every one
like to dress in different forms.People who like fashion a lot used to go to
fashion shows.
One of the best known fashion shows is the Cibeles in Madrid.

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES...

Culture is everything. traditions and customs, language, clothing, architecture, sports, parties ... These are some of the things that differentiate one from other countries, some people from other...ultimately about other cultures.

Gestures with different meanings:
* In Germany and Northern Europe, make the gesture of a finger turning the temple (madness) is very offensive and may even be punishable in court.
* That same gesture in Japan, it means to be thinking (if the finger is rotated forward) or madness (if you turn back).
* The thumb or index has risen obscene meaning in many countries of the Mediterranean area.
* The OK sign with thumb and forefinger, in Turkey means the ass and is used to call a man gay.
