I met with my conversation partner, Olivia, at Starbucks in Strozier Library. We talked about some of the differences in American and Danish culture. While there are many similarities there are also slight differences. For example, we talked about how the Danish people are very private and not too talkative when it comes to strangers. This is quite different from American, especially Southern American, people. In this case we talked about Southern Hospitality. This really proved that the US consists of so many different kinds of people and even cultures. Especially the southern "How are you?" was pretty confusing when I first got here because I felt like I needed to actually answer that question and not just "Good, how are you?". I know that now.
