Speaking Circles's Meeting #2

Speaking Circles's Meeting #2

Hello everyone,

  For our 2nd meeting, we have gone to international center to have a dinner. We have talked about the wedding in Chinese culture and Arabic culture. In Chinese culture, for example, when we have weddings we will invite relatives, families and friends to have meal with us, and they have to bring money ,which is put in a red pocket, to celebrate new couples. In Arabic culture, they also invite lots of people to have a big meal; however, they are not required to bring money but bring some gifts instead. 

 Furthermore, Shaymah asked me about my ring, and she told us how gold is normally seen in their country. And when they have wedding, the husband always give golden rings, necklaces, charms, bracelets and money to them, which is similar to Chinese culture. In this way to show high value about the marriage.
 Overall, that was a nice meeting to compare with two different countries' culture.
