(2) . 3 EXAMPLES OF CULTURAL SHOCK

1. In Indonesia we oftenly see girl holding another girl's hand,its actually normal if it happens in public area because it represents " sisterhood". once my friend Lena went to America (United States) for study and then she went to visit her girlfriend who had come to the state a year before,  they're walking together on the street of NewYork , sightseeing. when Lena noticed that her friend was not willing to hold lena's hands, later on she explained to Lena that woen don't hold women's hands and men don't hold men's hands in the united states.

2. In Chinese culture, if you say thank you to a family member, you are actually distancing yourself, so whatever you do even just for a simple thing you should be thanked. in Indonesia we hardly say thank you to our family members because we just think their our own so it doesn't really need to say thank you more often. i think we should try this culture by now hehe
