My Big Fat Greek Wedding

I really liked this movie. It was so funny. Toula and her Greek family were very cute. I could not understand Greek guy's jokes, it was too black. I found Greek people were very activity, talk a lot and strong of religion.

I think this movie stands on a true story, but it may make big during making movie.

May be it can be happened today, somewhere religion have strong power.

1.Do you think it is important to talk about superstitions in cross culture communication class? Why?
Yes, I think so, because lots of people believe their superstitions. So, when I go to foreign country, if I know the superstition in this country, I will not be rude and be able to enjoy when a local person says some superstition.

2.Is communication affected by superstitions?
Yes, it is. I often use this, we said fool does not catch a cold, superstition. If my friend gets a cold, I say that I don't know you are not fool, and make a joke.

3.Do you believe in superstitions? If yes, what superstitions do you believe?Why do you do, use, or believe in them?
Yes, I do. I believe "Don't whistle at night" superstition. When I was young, I did not believe this superstition. So I whistled midnight, in this moment I felt weird and creepy.

6th class

1.Since Japanese weddings are expensive, do you think having a massive wedding like Korea or UAE is a good idea?
May be this is one good way to save money and nice idea of having wedding ceremony. However, I want to have wedding ceremony by myself, because a massive wedding looks overcrowd.

2. What do you think about eloping? Having a wedding in a foreign location like Hawaii?
I think elopement is not really bad, but it is pleasant that both parents approve a marriage. To have a wedding in a foreign country is very romantic, but it is very difficult to participate, so it depends...

3.What is your ideal wedding?
I would like to have very small wedding. There are my parents, my sister, and my grand parents. We reserve small cafe and have dinner at there. I really want to go honeymoon, so I would save money from wedding.

4.What would you definitely do, wear or go to on that big day? Why is that important?
I get up early to wake up my brain. This is very important because I don't want any mistakes on that big day.

5. Have you ever been to a foreigner's wedding? -No, I haven't.
