South Korea- South Korea's thanksgivig is called Chuseok.Chuseok is when Koreans come home to pay respect to their ancestors. People perform ancestrial dances for the spirits of the ancestors. The people play many sports during Chusek. They also do many dances. That is South Korea's Thanksgiving.
France: French Etiquette Have you ever been to France when its nearing Thanksgiving in America? Well, France doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving. Even though they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, they still have Thanksgiving like etiquette. For example, they have the classic five course meal and how to eat it. The five course meal is: wine, your drink, first course, followed by your second course, then your third and fourth course and finally your fifth. Their general eating rules are some like, always keep both hands on the table with wrists at the edge. Treat your waiter with respect, compliments on the food. Finally, don't be shy to ask for water as you would normally have to. They also have dinner party rules like, don't arrive exactly on time. Bring low-maintenance flowers. Men should wear a jacket and women should wear high heels. NEVER leave the door slightly ajar when you exit the bathroom. Serving orange juice or grapefruit juice are signals that the host is ready to say goodbye. If you go to France one day remember to follow all these rules of etiquette.
Italy: Italian Thanksgiving: Italian Thanksgiving is very different then ours in America. Italy has special Italian recipes to accompany our American traditions such as, roast turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and they watch Macys Annual Thanksgiving Parade. They also have their own recipes such as, ravioli con la zucca (pumpkin ravioli), tacchinella alla melagrana (roast turkey basted with pomegranate sauce and served with pomegranate-and-giblet gravy), sweet Italian turkey sausage and mozzarella stuffing, baked sweet potatoes with lime and ginger. Finally, Italian cakes and pastries. They also have their own table manners like, don't season anything before trying it, don't ask for lots of ice in your soda, don't use a spoon to twirl your pasta, and try to eat with your right hand. Italy has different traditions than us that we should try one day.
England: Have you ever been to England? If so you would know that England doesn't have an official nation day for Thanksgiving. They do have Thanksgiving like table manners such as, put the fork face up on the left of the plate, when setting the table. You must use the knife or fork that is farthest away from you plate, when you start eating. you must cu the toast, then drink your coffee when having toast and coffee. When eating put your hands under the table on your lap. Tilt the bowl away from yourself before taking the last spoonful of soup. Put the bread on a special side plate and then break it into little pieces with your fingers. It isn’t rude to eat all the food on your plate. When eating hold the knife in your right hand, the fork in your left hand, and then you push the peas onto the back of your fork. All these manners learned from England can be very useful if you ever go.
There are lots of manners in France . In France friends greet each other by kiss on the cheek . If you are invited to a dinner party arrive on time if you are going to be late you must call to tell the host . You also do not eat till the host says " bon appetit " ! I hope I have given you some good French manners ! 'au revoir' !!
