My culture

Dress- In  my culture, most of the time we just dress regular; or normal. Like, warm clothes in the winter and everything, & shorts and short-sleeves shirts. But like when the New Year comes, there’s a thing that like all the Hmong people go to, & celebrate. When that time comes, Girls/woman where a skirt over like a shirt that goes with it; including alot of beads & all that stuff. But for guys, they usually wear a pants & A matching shirt, with some beads. But it’s all up to you if you really wanna wear it, or not.

Family- I have a big family. 10 brothers (6 of them are half brothers), and 5 sisters (1 is a half sister). & No, we do not live all together. (: But yeah. The typical role of a woman in my family is like the one who like does all the work & everything. & most of the time, is responsible for like almost everything ish, if that makes sense. They’re usually who the other members depend on. The man/boys on the other hand, usually sometimes do nothing. But, they still have to work & help the woman in the family. But the role for the kids is really nothing, honestly. They just gotta’ be like respectful & everything, & like don’t do anything bad.

Language- In my culture, we speak Hmong. But like most of us speak English, because we live in the US. & thats the typical language here. But sometimes, we do alittle bit of both mixed. (:

Religions- My religion is Shamen. Its when like you believe in spirits & everything. We have these ceremonies for when a new member of the family enters; Marriage’s, & new babies, & alot more other stuff too. Usually when we do those ceremonies, we’d have to like butcher a pig, or a cow. But one thing you have to have, is a Chicken. Honestly, I’m not sure why, but you just have too. I guess. :]

Taboos- Depending on the parents of the family, some parents do not like accept marriage of another race. Which, honestly I think is really crazy. Because that shouldn’t matter, you know? Like for instance, my parents they’re kinda strict on that. But like they know that the daughters will probably not marry the same race. And you know, they’ll just have to accept that.

Yum- The foods that we eat are the typical foods. But in some occasions, we’ll have alot of other asian foods. But the main ones are, Eggrolls, Pho’ (Noodles), & Rice (; In my culture, we typically eat rice with everything. & Pepper too. They’re just like something that we have to have, or else the meal will not taste as good, & it wouldn’t be complete.
