The End of the Road

In this final blog I would like to talk about the comparisons and differences I saw in the cultures I have expereinced.

First, within the places I have been in the United States there are so many differences. In terms of work characteristics Hawaii had a very laid back attitude while Washington D.C. was always bustling with people. Alaska was also pretty relaxed.

Besides the language difference France has some differences from the United States that I think would be nice here. For instance stores and businesses close on Sundays and shops close pretty early in the evening. However, I do like how the states do not have as much cigarette smoke around and that there is a wide variety of food to eat. France had zero Mexican food.

Australia was kinda the same way but it was more Japanese, British, and seafood types of food.

Australia's payment for employees is better than here in America. There minimum wage is at least $14 and their guest worker programs seem to work better than the U.S.

Whatever the place though I encourage you to take the new experience. I know I loved being able to travel to the different cultures and learn more about the world.
