RE: what is a culture of peoples?

Hi all, I might be way outta my league here what with all these big words being used (haven't hit Google up yet to get the definition) but I'll give the whole "Culture" meaning a shot.

For me, I'm American so in my opinion, my culture is a mix of your's. Other than being a Native American, we have blended all the European Cultures into one big mass. If you were to travel the South Side of Chicago where it is mostly Italian and compare it to Chinatown in San Francisco or the Irish parts of Philadelphia, you'll see its all different in the way they go about their daily interactions with each other. Yet at the same time, we all call ourselves Americans.

Culture to me is where we come/came from and its our heritage. Its how we blend it into our daily lives and what it is that we look back on in history and be proud of with the intent of teaching our children to carry it on. Our culture defines us as individuals and as a group.

I could go on but my "Crack" Lab dog is demanding my attention..

WOW! I wish I could help out on that one. Couldn't mail it to you if I had some. I got no idea how the Belgium Post Office works....... hmmm.... or even where there is one.

Bailey's? Hmmm.... I might have to go to the store now. I'm sure to be here as well. I'll see everyone at midnight!

RE: Apologies for a late introduction

Hi Katie and everyone else in the forums. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year. I too am a new arivial here. I recently became a single dad with my two sons, 18 and 17 years old so fairly soon it will be just me and my dog. I got the dog two weeks ago from an animal shelter for company. The last thing my teenage sons want to do is hang around dad constantly.

Im in the military and not originally from the EU but I've been stationed here for over 6 years and love Europe to the point that I really have little to no desire to return back to the States. I wish I could learn all the languages though.


I have a few more years left here and I hope to get out and make new friends. I looked at some of the forums and it looks like a good group of people here so I'll do my best to try and be more active and get to know some of you. In the forums if nothing else. Cheers and Happy New Year. I'll be spending it with my dog. I wonder ow he likes fireworks.
