Byongho’s presentation about the beanie was interesting because it explains such a strong message about the Czech culture just from a beanie. Byongho mentioned that the beanie has a rough surface on the outside and a smooth texture in the inside part of it. The beanie is common in Czech and it helps to explain the personality of Czech people. Byongho pointed out that Czech people can be a little rude on the outside, but they are nice people when you get to know them. Another point that I thought was interesting was the topic of Korean food. Korean food/side dishes are meant to be enjoyed together as a group, not by an individual. This way, Korean food emphasizes on the Korean culture of being together. Dalila mentioned that Koreans have a different dating culture that they go out on dates in groups. All in all, we can learn more about culture from little things that we don’t usually appreciate or pay attention to.
