Intercultural Scavanger hunt

Throughout this weekend I had eaten at a few different cultural restaurants. Each restaurant was unique and different in their own way showing different aspects of their culture. The indian restaurant opens their shop late as they normally do in India according to my parents (India typically begins their day later than Americans). There was no music and not very lively but the food was very strong smelling and extremely flavorful. The food was tasteful but was not presented well. It is a small restaurant with pictures of India on the walls and India's flag. I did not see anyone of another culture in the restaurant and everyone ate their meal using their right hands. I also visited a japanese restaurant where everything seemed so neat and organized from the utensils to the food. The food was served very neat and appealing to the eye and served in small portions. In the japanese restaurant they had mirors with coy fish and lily pads painted on them, giving a very calm soothing/relaxed feeling in the air.  At the spanish restaurant they played cultural spanish, almost dance music. The music made the place feel lively and like home, almost that it wasnt a sit down dinner but more of a friendly gathering like a home BBQ. At all of these different restaurants the people who prepared the food were generally of that culture. As I ordered my meal from each place they spoke in english to me, but to give the order to their co-workers, they began to speak in their native tongue almost not even realizing it. There are soo many different cultural foods all very close to each other. I never think about it but there are soo many different cultural restaurants that we have soo many options to choose from.
