All people around the world have their own ways of living, or they have different kinds of life style. And, their belief about things vary depend up on what kind of back ground they have. It amazes me when I think about all different kinds of culture because they are numerous. For people who move from their native country to another place may be very hard to adjust the culture. It always takes a while to learn other people's culture and language.
I am from Ethiopia, and I have lived in San Diego for about five years. I only lived in San Diego ever since I came to United States. When I first came U.S, I didn't like it because a lot of things were not the same with what I have experience. Therefore, it became really hard for me to fit in; lots of things in America shocked me. The three things that were not the same with back home when I first came were food, diversity of the people, and homosexuality. .
The taste of the food.
The food was really hard for me to get used to because our food is different from American food. The food that we eat called injera (very thin bread-like which made up of flour). Injera can be eaten with stew made up of meat, vegetable, lamb, chicken and so on. This stew is usually spicy. I ate injera with chicken stew when I first arrived here or San Diego which my mother had made it. Even though Ethiopia food, it tasted different to me. Actually, all food didn't taste delicious like back home food for a while. I think the reason the food was not delicious like back home or taste different was because in back home we always eat fresh food and natural food. For example, meat, chicken, and lamb are not kept for so long in the fregrater like in America. Ethiopia people buy fresh meat from the store; they buy alive chicken and they kill it their self and as well. More over, the milk is also fresh in back home. They get it directly from the ox (it is not mix with other things or chemical).
