I think thing that make me different from others is that I like old fashion stuffs such as clothes, bags and shoes or even songs. Usually teenagers like brand name clothes or expensive bag but I don't. When I was I Thailand I like to go to weekend market that they sell antiques or second hand bag and cheap clothes. I don't mind having second hand bags or shoes as long as they look good on me.
Usually families in Thailand are extended family and grandparents have a chance to take care of their grandchildren, so they inherit old lifestlye values for example you have to respect your elder. In the other hand most of American's families are single family so childen are very independent, they don't have to respect the elder so much like we do in Asia. I have the thai lifestlye in me so when I arrived here I felt a little funny. My host mom and dad always let me be the first one to start eating or bring me water which is usually my job to do. Also we don't hug in Thailand we "Wai" each other. At first I felt uncomfortable to hug people I didn't know them very well but I'm doing better now.
In conclusion I think different countries means different cultures, so if you are in Rome do what the Romans do but the most important thng is don't forget who you are.
