I really loved hearing about all of the different cultures out there. I have learned so much about the Korean culture, and it is really a fascinating culture. Because of my peers, I feel as if a whole group of people and way of life has opened me in regards to the Korean people. From more general to Eastern societies of a hierarchical structure between families and their elders, to more Korean related specifics such as the insane popularity of dramas and looks.
I also really loved hearing about the other cultures that students brought up. From Turkey's following of Ataturk to the Greek culture and then to Urdu and the stories that came with that presentation, I really was able to get a sense of each culture. If I ever go or talk about these different places, the presentation today will give me a lot of important information on cultural backgrounds that I will need. Imagine saying something bad about Ataturk in Turkey!
