Dumpling

Dumpling is a typical symbol of Chinese food, in ancient China, dumplings were called " yuan boa" and were used as currency because its shape is symbolic of the way money is viewed in the Chinese culture. Some of the Chinese families have dumplings on their New Year 's Eve or New Year Day! 

In the Collectivist societies people belong to 'in groups' that  act in the interests of the group and not necessarily of themselves.

A few countries that are considered collectivistic include Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Venezuela, Guatemala, Indonesia, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, and India.

A hamburger (short: burger) is a  sandwich to the western culture. Hamburgers first appeared in the 19th or early 20th century, the USA was the first country where two slices of bread and a  ground beef steak were combined into a "hamburger sandwich" and sold. In the late 1990s, the USA names it as fast food. The fast-food is the larger globalization of food, including pizza.  A few countries that are considered individualistic cultures include the United States, Germany, Ireland, South Africa, and Australia. Individualism holds that a person taking part in society attempts to learn and discover what his or her own interests are on a personal basis, without a presumed following of the interests of a societal structure (an individualist need not be an egoist).

Travel wins thousands of books

When people inquire about my favorite place to travel and ask which country is the best, I refrain from providing a specific answer. Each destination possesses its unique allure and cultural richness. Much like life, we may enjoy specific periods and, conversely, have reservations about some aspects. My travel experiences have taken me to diverse countries, including Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States.
