Features: When it comes to Western style, it always evokes images of Mediterranean sunshine, Hawaiian beaches, Italian pizza, and French wine. Indeed, A Glimpse into Western Style is not meant to present readers with serious and heavy symphonies, but rather the light and elegant side of Western culture. In A Glimpse into Western Style, whether it's the Easter eggs of the Resurrection, the stories of Thanksgiving, or the ancient folk customs of Scandinavian villages, all seem to call out to us from afar. This book offers a fresh perspective on the customs and traditions of major Western countries from six aspects: leisure, cuisine, culture, and customs. Those lovely Norwegians, the optimistic and romantic Romans, the French, full of spring-like passion, and the vibrant, relentless Americans—through their hobbies, art, and religion, as well as their diet and leisure, readers can discover the charm of life in Europe and America.
