【2025原创】I was born in Madrid, Spain, but I wanted to see other
cultures, so I moved to New York in the late 1990s. I liked its hectic life—
people working long hours and always moving. Living there changed how I saw
time, work, and friendships.

After several years in New York, I moved to Los Angeles to explore its
unique lifestyle. Drawn to its creative energy and film industry, I found LA’s
slower pace centred on art, community, and tradition—unlike New York’s intensity.
Being flexible helped me adapt and fit in better, allowing me to appreciate these
differences. The contrast deepened my understanding of American culture,
especially LA’s influence on trends. I also grew fascinated by old traditions tied
to nature and their modern connections.
My studies made me think about how societies were organized and the roles
people played. I focused on how different cultures show leadership and beliefs.

Through my travels, I learnt that culture deeply affects our thoughts. In
Madrid, people were relaxed about time, but in New York, being on time was
very important. In LA, people valued new ideas and personal expression, while in
Europe, history and customs were more respected.
These experiences taught me that no single culture has all the aspects. By
living in different places, I gained a wider view of the world. Culture is like a
pair of glasses—▲
Would you like to explore new cultures too? Understanding differences can
help us grow and connect with others.#8

Arriving 30 minutes late for a date may mean you think it isn’t that
important. Taking a cell phone call while talking to your friend may mean you
think the caller is more important than the person standing in front of you.
Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may mean you don’t like the gift.
Are those the messages you really want to send? Maybe not. You do not
want to be rude, but sometimes what you do makes people think you’re impolite.
How can you change that?
You should know the proper ways to behave around people. We call them
manners. Manners are about being honest, respectful and considerate (考虑周到
