Relationship bewteen Asian and American

There is a different relationship between Asian such as Korea and Qatar and American. Usually korean people join the meeting after working in order to maintain their relationship with their colleagures even though they don't want to get togeter. It will happen at work and in terms of family relationship, in Qatar, they are very close to get along with each other. Every day, they spend enjoying dinner time with thier relatives which consists of men. Whenever koeran family members have trouble solving big problems such as money, they are willing to help and share their feeling even the hard times. On the other hand, most americans have a big portion to think about own individual life not oriented their family members. They don't like to get together without any purposes and reasons. We think different culture reflect their life style that means at home and work something like that.( By Kyung-in, Khamis and Jennifer)

In general I agree with your comments. Families are a little different. If all the family members are grown with their own live, but live in the same area they tend to get together on Sundays. Maybe you don't see it in a university town, but Americans tend to be very religious. This is the reason why Sundays are very important. For me, I never announce a visit at my brother's house, but I try to formally try to invite him for dinner at my house almost every Sunday.
