In order to experience and highlight how cultures can differ, even between close friends, find someone who lives close to you with whom you can discuss cultural differences.

Create a list of similarities and differences between the ways of taking vacations; family values (for example, living with different generations apart or together); attitudes towards the older generations; hours of work and times of work; formality at work; and the level of respect accorded to supervisors. How do you think the most different items on your lists may cause both misunderstandings and possible conflicts between you and your friend?
