Hi ralase, I agree with you about cultures - it's not just interesting but it can teach you to be humble and open-minded. It also helps me to love my own culture more. So, I'm British (English parents, Scottish upbringing) and I live in France.

Hi
Well, to start with, one of the things I really love about my culture is that the countries of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are truly different and have their own traditions, but we can all speak the same language. For example, the next big feast day in Britain is Hallowe'en but it's not celebrated in the same way in Scotland and in England and maybe in Wales too, I don't k

Hi Muslimflower,

thank you for your post about Arabic/islamic culture. I think it's very important to speak out about the positive side of Islam, since we live in a very anti-islamic culture, although most people know very little about it. I'm Christian but I recognise that both religions encourage similar values, such as generosity, honesty and family values.

However, do you t

Well, I'll talk to you about the same feast here in Costa Rica, well, first of all, we don't really celebrate Hallowe'en, because people is kind of afraid of death... Which is such a shame because as I just told you it must be so fun to go and ask for sweets wearing a funny costume and all th

Hello Muslimflower!!!

Thanks for your reply, your culture is actually very interesting, and it's very good that for your culture, the family is very important, because in some other countries, like mine, sadly the family is not as important as it is for you...
It would be great if you could talk about some feast days in your culture, or maybe any other thins or values that are imp

Cultures Day sounds like a really good idea. Britain is a multicultural country but we don't have any sort of national festival of multiculturalism. Since England had an empire for several centuries, over the years people from other countries came to live in Britain and it makes the culture much more colourful and interesting!
I've heard of the american equivalent of Cultures Day, since we r

Hey, thanks for the translation!! haha
Yeah, here in Costa Rica, well, the place where I live, the weather is very cold sometimes, or very hot, actually it's always changing, here we don't have four seasons per year, we just have two, rainy season and sunny season, but people is very used to the weather, so like you, we don'

It’s interesting and exciting to know the cultures of different countries, it makes you think and compare to your own culture. I live in United Arab Emirates, an Arabic country; we called it a gulf country because it is located on Arabian Gulf. There are seven cities in my country, and I live in Dubai, the other cities are Abu Dhabi, Al Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Um Al Qwain and Sharjah. Dub
