110: Cultural Post #8

[James Kim]

I learned a lot after seeing my fellow students' presentations on their respective languages. I knew most of the material that was covered regarding the Korean culture but I learned something new about the Turkish culture. Zeno, my classmate, talked about how weddings are run in Turkey. Growing up in Korea, I am well aware of the unique wedding ceremony that all Koreans go through. However, I did not know other countries did the same. Turkey has an extremely long wedding ceremony that lasts couple of days. It also involves coffee a lot which was very interesting. When I think of coffee, Turkey does not come into mind at all. It was interesting to learn that other countries have their own unique wedding ceremonies.
