When disasters occur, your government, how they help?
Let's talk about the holiday.
What are the biggest holiday in your country?
Are there special things for that day? such as food, ceremony or other stuffs.
Let's talk about the culture for pet.
What are the common pet in your country?
Do you have pet?
What do you think of them?
Are there no problems with pet in your country?
I have met friends many other ways.
I haven’t had chances to meet some of my friends in real life,
but I know they are polite and gentle.
We live in different counties and have different cultures.
Some of my friends live in Spain, Italy, France, Holland,
America, and Mexico, and some live in Korea.
Although we all live in different countries, we are young,
and have similar interests, so I think we can understand
each other.
Because of this, I had an idea.
Let's throw a party.
I think it's a great opportunity for us to understand each other and new cultures.
The distance between us is very far, but it doesn't matter,
because we will use VoIP, as we usually do.
We’ll begin with a short self introduction.
You name, where you are from, and so on.
I will preside over this meeting this time, because I know all
of you guys.
But I'll try not to be this weird presider next time.
So, please forgive me.
It's just a dialog for culture exchange,
so you can bring a friend, if you want to.
(They will have to install "LINE" and "Popcorn Buzz",
in advance)
I think it will last 1~2 hours. There are no rules about time
and it's not a compulsory class,
so you can come and go out as you wish,
in the middle of the party.
It's a party, but you don't have to wear
a tuxedo or nice dress.
But there are some important rules and manners.
1. Please be polite to others.
2. Everybody has a different culture.
Sometimes it's a bit weird, but please don't criticize it.
Please respect other cultures.
Slander is strictly prohibited.
3. Please do not interrupt when someone else is speaking.
* The party will be held on the first weekend of every month.
