Living with your family doesn't count as experiencing culture since to you, it's normal. You have to be experiencing another culture.

People that have no idea what culture is really need to stop using the word. Your own personal "culture" is most assuredly the same thing as experiencing another "culture." (ugh) It's unique, it's transitional, and it's fluid. One irish family doesn't have the same rituals as another, and no two familial units are exactly alike. You would have been better off making this thread about interesting traditions/rituals you've experienced. A chinese family in America is almost guaranteed not to be "traditional" Chinese, for example. The whole concept is flawed at its most basic level.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
