Sometimes the topic CULTURAL "OTHER" AWARENESS can confuse you a little but the way that i saw it to undertanded in a better way is how the people treat to each other in different countries, knowing this is much easier and the important part will be who is this person, a stranger, your friend, your family etc... In this class i noticed that is really similar bewteen countries, i meet people from Malaysia, China, Japan and more and everywhere was almost the same, they are respecful and don't talk to strangers if they don't need to but sometimes they don't mind to talk, most of the times will be just a little greating maybe because they hold the elevator for you or something like that but is not bad to talk, of course having in mind wich topic are you gonna talk about, there's lots of topic to talk about but you cannot talk any of them with a stranger, you will always will try to talk about neutral or not to personal topics like the weather or something you saw...
