Your world, My world and OUR World.

Hello to all you fine people out there. As you have seen from the horrible picture that Professor Dennis posted, my name is Dalal AlJaser. I am from Kuwait and I have been a student at OSU for about 3 years now. I used to go to school at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis before I transfered here. Over all I have been in the U.S. for about 5 years. I came here when I was 17 years old. I am 23 now and I’m going to graduate in May with an Advertising degree.

As many of you can imagine, Kuwait is a lot different than the U.S. People are different, names are different, food is different,… you get the idea. Lately I have been noticing a lot of daily life activities that are some times similar to activities that occur in Kuwaiti daily life and some are different. What I would like this blog to be is a view of these differences and similarities through the eyes of someone who has lived and experienced both cultures- ME.

Having lived in both countries and learned from both cultures I would say that I am somewhat qualified to talk about this topic- for all you skeptics out there!Think of it as a cultural journey into not only my world but maybe yours as well. By looking at the world through some one else’s experience, especially mine, you will be able to learn and notice many things that you normally would not have thought of. I hope that this topic won’t be too boring for all your tastes and I hope that I will manage to keep you entertained. Stay tuned to find out more about what I mean. Oh and remember! It may seem like it’s a really big world out there, but you will soon learn that it’s really pretty much the same. Pretty small. peace.
