Experiential Blog #6 Listen to what is around you

I have observed that in different locations people talk in different ways. For example in Vienna Prague and London everyone is much quieter especially if there is a larger group of people or just having a personal conversation. I will talk primarily about London because I speak the language. I noticed that when you are saying goodbye to someone here it is common to say something along the lines of "cheers". I also noticed that apologies are very common and quite frequent about things we don't normally consider worth apologizing for. In our native language we mostly ignore small interruptions and just ask the other person to carry on while here it would be grounds for an apology. I come to the conclusion that it is only slightly more formal than our language and much more polite and clear. communication here in London is very easy to understand and also easy to pick up on.
