My cultural Diversity ( Reflection )

My cultural diversity:

This is our video for culture diversity :

We went to the heritage village in Dubai to know about old culture in UAE before 40 years and more, also we made some videos with other expats to know about their culture in their country.

first we went to see old houses and how they built it. Old houses were made by palm trees that were tensioned by rope. Also in the past they didn't have air conditioner but to solve this problem they made a small hole in the walls to let the air enters inside the house in summer.
They also had pots to save water inside because they didn't have freezer before.

After that we went to see old boats, they were in two types, one of them was used to transport from a place to another while the second type was used to make a living, for example: they used this boats to go fishing to ate and sold fish, they also used for diving to get pearls and sale it.

Finally we made a conversation with expats and ask them about what they know about our culture and what is the difference between us and them.
There are many difference between our culture and their culture.
for example: they built their houses by stones but we built it by palm trees. Also we are known for our hospitality but they only receive people they know.

In this trip i feel like i was living with my ancestors and i learned about our culture 40 years ago. In addition i learned about other culture in other countries 40 years ago.
