Topic       : " Discussion and Presentation In Some Countries"

Assalamualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarokatuh..

  Hello guys, how are you interested in reading blogs?  A month has passed where I am still diligently uploading blogs every week after attending intercultural communication learning meetings.  I am sure if you are interested in reading blogs or other information literacy, surely you will also feel or want to write something that you want to share, or feel interested in writing like the writing that you have read before.  A sense of interest will grow if we are intentional and diligent in literacy, so that our hearts are moved to make a written work with the aim that other people read our written works.  Come on, from now on, cultivate the spirit of literacy, slowly you can definitely do it.

  Okay this time I will tell or share what I have heard and received after participating in the lesson last week.  The activities we do are still the same as before, namely presenting individually the results of the work that has been made in a country in the form of customs and culture, interesting things, economic growth, and business practices.  At that time there were 4 of my friends  The first presenter was Nur Indah Pratiwi who introduced and explained the culture and business practices of the Malaysian state, the second presenter was Tasya with Vietnam, the third presenter was Nurfadillah with the New Zealand country, and the fourth was Khairul Mujaddid with the Netherlands.  

 I will discuss one by one.  The first is Malaysia.

  Malaysia is a federal country in Southeast Asia.  The capital is Kuala Lumpur, while Putrajaya is the center of federal government.  Examples of Malaysian culture:

1. Zapin Dance

2. Nasi lemak

3. Gawai Dayak.

   Thaipusam ceremony.  Socio -Cultural in Malaysia.  Malaysia consists of a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual society.  things that must be known when wanting to establish cooperation with this country is that the country that he said is similar also has unique habits in business.  One thing you need to know is that they will not work together if they do not know each other personally.  If you are serious about choosing this country, make sure you know the people you will be working with.

  Continue to the second topic, namely the country of Vietnam 

  Vietnam, officially named the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia.  Vietnam is bordered by the People's Republic of China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest and the South China Sea to the east.  Its capital is Hanoi, the currency used is Vietnamese Dong.

Vietnam's form of government: 

- Unitary state

- Socialist country

- Communist country

 The one-party Vietnam Culture state is heavily influenced by the Chinese State.  So that Vietnamese culture still adheres to Confucian values ​​that emphasize kinship.  Ao Dai clothing, which is traditional Vietnamese women's clothing.  Besides that, it also emphasizes family and social values.

  Okay go to the next topic, namely the country of new zealand

  New Zealand is an island nation in the southwest Pacific Ocean, its capital is Wellington.

  New Zealand has an open economy that works on free market principles. It has sizeable manufacturing and service sectors complementing a highly-efficient agricultural sector. Exports of goods and services account for around one third of real expenditure GDP.

  Apart from milk, New Zealand is also a producer of meat, honey and eggs.  Sheep are also common so there is a lot of wool production.  The vegetables and fruits produced also have high selling value, such as apples and kiwis.

  New Zealand's culture is a rich blend of Māori tradition, pioneering a "he'll be fine" attitude and the diverse influences of many generations of settlers.  Māori culture plays an important role in everyday life in New Zealand.  Te Reo Māori is the official language, Māori values, such as manaakitanga (warm hospitality) and kaitiakitanga (land keepers) are very important to New Zealand culture.

  Continue to the next topic, namely the Netherlands

  The Netherlands is a participating country in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of twelve provinces in Northwest Europe, and three islands in the Caribbean.  The Dutch word in Indonesian is a flawed loan from Portuguese vocabulary: holanda, olanda, wolanda, bolanda, and finally dutch.  The capital is Amsterdam, currency is Euro.

  The Netherlands has a market economy, but the state traditionally has been a significant participant in such fields as transportation, resource extraction, and heavy industry. The government also employs a substantial percentage of the total labour force and effects investment policy.

 Why is the Netherlands called the Netherlands?

  Due to the dominance of these many famous tourist attractions, finally the Netherlands, which has an official state name, namely Netherland, is more widely known as Holland.

  In general, the characteristics of Dutch society are as follows: "Straightforward": they do not hesitate to express their opinion.  Critical about the environment: tend to like to complain.  Likes to help: especially for students.

  Clothes that are popular in netherland are traditional clothes called klederdracht.  More specifically, the klederdracht is usually worn together with a white pointed hat called a njekither and unique and cute wooden shoes.  Klederdracht is often featured in advertisements for original Dutch products.

  Okay, I think that's all of about the materials that I had from the all of presenters, if you're need to adding something or suggest, and also ask a question, you can write down in coloumn comment, thankyou and happy reading.
