cultural shocks
what are some cultural shocks that you guys have experienced? also, do you guys think pretty privilege is a thing? have you guys experienced it?
it was a year ago. my family and i had a 3 weeks vacation to the philippines. it was lowkey creepy since a lot of people were staring at me whenever we cross a street or just walk. i asked my filipino cousin if there was something on my face, since i felt hella conscious. she said no and that it was probably because im eye-catching and im a “mestiza”..? i genuinely laughed at her, since no one in the us stares at you if you’re “eye-catching”. they would usually just tell you straight up if you look good or whatnot. ive also noticed in the philippines that people (especially the guards) tend to interact with you more if youre good looking. its prolly just me tho..
Respect culture (towards elders and strangers)
Being atheists is an actual thing where you don't have ANY religion and don't practice any religious-cultural holidays
(in mine you get born into the religion and it doesn't matter what you do you'll always be considered part of the religion)
Respecting lines properly
