Understanding British Culture

While British culture may seem alien to a newly arrived overseas Filipino worker (OFW) like you, you may be surprised to learn that British people are more similar than you think.

Understanding American Culture

Before you pack your bags and move to the United States, it’ll be good to do your research so you can get to know American culture. Getting familiar with the culture even before you reach your new country will help with your adjustment. It will also help you understand why people in America act and think the way they do, and it will help you spot similarities and points of connection between your home culture and American culture as well as differences that you may want to incorporate in your own way of life.
