INTERCULTURAL WORKSHOP
Today I
met Sarah from Saudi Arabia. We converse about what would be a polite behavior if I invited her to
my house and I offered her lunch. She said that she would have to refuse it even
she was hungry. Sarah said that she would consider it to be very rude If I didn’t
pressure her to eat my food. I told her that she would starve to death in most
homes in US. if that was the case, but in my house I would make her eat until
she couldn't anymore and as if that wasn't enough, I would give her takeout. She
said I reminded her of her mother. I guess that was a good compliment. We decided to use this conflict in our
script to be presented at the next IC workshop activity.
That is great conversation.
