Folks Houses Around The World
Hi there! How are you? I hope you are fine and still doing something useful
over your house. :D By the way, today I’ll tell you about the unique houses in
some countries. First, I will tell you about complex houses of Hakka family,
China. Hakka family was moving from the yellow river area in 12 th to 13 th century. They built big house with rounded
hard wall in order to protect them to outsider. One townhouse is for the family
who has the same last name and the non-Hakka family are not allowed to live in. Differ from Chinese, Many of Malayan in
Kalimantan and Malaysia build their house on the river. It’s because their job
as a fishermen, but unfortunately they use timber of mangrove that has the
durability against the sea water to built the house.
If Malayan live on the
river, some people of Peru live on reed islands made of floating reed in the
lake. The boats (for fishing) and the houses are built from reed. But they must
change the old reed into the new one every several months to keep their stuff
good. It’s quite interesting about the houses people like to live. If you want

Table Manner Around the World
Hi again. I got an idea to write my blog for this time. it's about table manner around the world. Well, in Indonesia, especially for Javanese, it would be polite for you to eat with your hand, but it will be very impolite if you don't look at your food, or talk to other while you are eating. You will also impolite if you mess up your food, everything must be very quiet, quick, and neat. But how about in the other country?
In Chile, you will not be allow to use your hand to take any food on

your table, because Chileans always use utensils. But different with Ethiopians, they say it wasteful to eat with utensils, so
they eat everything with their hands — specifically their right hand. In Canada, you will be polite if you come late to the dinner table, but
if you come on time or early, it won't be acceptable. In China, you have to mess your food after you eat to show that you enjoyed the meal. In Egypt, don't refill your own glass, but let your neighbor to do it, and don't forget to refill your neighbor's glass if the water is less than half full.

Back to Indonesia that have many cultures, Bataknese, will be very boring if there are no conversation in the table, they love to talk and even they take home the food that left. If yoe, have been though in Javanese ways of table manners, or the like, you will be very surprise when you come to Bataknese party when they are going to eat.
Thats all from me for this time. hope you enjoy it.
