Memories of a Foreigner

Not from here nor from there | by Yeeliberto

How do you count?

, , ,

In many cultures, many thing are performed differently only to get to a common goal. It has happened to me while doing math at the school, very different system but same results.

In the video you can see how dfferently cultures count money, and yes, I count the same for as America (the continent, not the country).

They do not have the right to censore itLicense Plates of the World

do I understand you?? 1,000 %
when I did a division for my kids (when small) they both looked at me like I am speaking Chinese!
Yes, many things are different in the teaching method. I feel it is a waist time and not fast thinking,but again if I taught my kids differently they wouldn't get the high grades .
Speaking of differences, I did a new blog about Etiquette in different countries.Please add some from Mexico! Thanks :smile:

With children they do not matter what language you are talking to them, they will think you are talking in another language; I say it by my sister experience. and I will see I can add to you post ettiquettes.
