INTERCULTURAL EXPERIENCE
Last year I went to Oslo. Oslo is in Norway and always I had thought about this country that The people there eat a lot of Salmon and the weather in Norway is ver y cold especially in winter. Also I had always thought that the landscape would be wonderful there.
I went to Norway because I have a friend there and she invited me some days in her house. I spent six incredibles days together with her family too.My friend showed me several places in the city and she and her family were very hospitable with me. The last day of my trip, I wanted to thank their hodpitality and I bought white roses, in a florist for her family.
When I gave my present for them, theirs faces started to get red and I asked What happened? To my friend and she said to me " In Norway never give white roses because this colour isn't for a gift, It is for a wedding or for when someone are sick"
After my embarrasing situation all the member, of her family started to laugh.
Finally I learnt that I need to read more information about the country where I will go to travel!!
