This week we had presentations in class. I really enjoyed learning about the different cultures and customs. I was very surprised to find that plastic surgery is very common in Korea especially for pop stars. Also, the fact that not only females, but males are very concerned about their appearance. I found this interesting because my topic was about beauty in India and how dark skin is not considered attractive or beautiful. I did not know that there is a similar problem in Korea in terms or looking a certain way.
I also liked learning about K-Pop and how popular it has become world wide. I enjoyed watching the music video and learning how much work goes into being a pop-star in Korea.
Fatima's presentation on getting a Pakistani house ready for guests was something I could relate to. Many of the customs she discussed are similar to my own culture. My culture shares commonalities in bringing food over and talking continuously at the door.
I loved the idea of the lunch messengers in India. I was very surprised that I have not heard of them before. It is such a wonderful idea that the men are able to eat home cooked food that their wives make through the help of the messengers. It is amazing that they rarely make any mistakes in delivering the food.
