This week in class we talked about how people from different countries do similar tasks but in very different ways. Although i didn't travel overseas i know that in different parts of this country people do things very differently. One experience i had with this is when i went to California this past summer. I went there to play water polo for the Junior Olympics. Back here in Illinois each team has a locker room to change in. This seemed very normal and logical to me. However, in California all their pools are outside which was a nice change for me, but even more strange is they do something call a "deck change". At first i was really confused where the locker rooms are at the pools. Then someone told me that there are no locker room in California! i was shocked. He then went on to explain that a "deck change" is where you literally change on the pool deck. This was so weird for me changing with only a towel around me at Stanford University in front of a couple hundred people. But as the week went on i became accustom to it and it was no longer weird for me. I could totally relate to the activities this week in class because i was in a very different situation and embarrassed about it. Even though i didn't go to another country, it was a really different world out there. Because this experience i became aware of what other people do on a regular basis.
