Personal Reflection #3

          In every country in this world they have other cultural their own. Some people they don’t like when the other nationality visit there country and still looking at them all the time or they don’t give them anything they want and some they are nice to everyone. In this easy I will talk about my experiment and the behavior when the other nationality visits other country and how they will deal with each other.

          Some of days, I was traveling with my family to British exactly to Scotland and the people there they were very kind with me. I was going to everywhere like malls cinema and, restaurant and they were good with me they give me any thing I want and they don’t give me expensive price but, some country when the visitors come to their country they give them an expensive price because they are visitors. After one week I spend it in Scotland I was thinking to wear a kandora it is our clothes in UAE because I was want to see how they will treat me after all, I wear it and I was not believing what I saw, everyone they want to take a photo with me and in my uncle graduate when they saw me they put me and my family in VIP stages to see our uncle.

Overall, in every country there are some like the visitor and some they don’t like it but of course I am proud to be Emirati because what I saw there in Scotland and how they treat me with they know that I am from UAE.
