The card game we played was a great expirement to find out how different people adjust to different ways of life. It was like every table was another society and we had become acostomed to our "laws" even if we all didnt agree in the begining, we all had enough time to play our games that it was no problem to play without talking. But when we were put in the position to switch, we had a lot of arguments because its like going to a new country and trying to communicate in a different language. When we had someone come to our table, theu just got mad because their rules were different than ours. They had a culture shock and didn't know how to handle it without screaming. It's simmilar to Sal's story about the bathrooms in Japan. If we had more time to introduce our newcomer to our society, they would have had to adjust. Sal had to adjust to the bathrooms in Japan, because if you gotta go, you gotta go.
