First, the background. Right now I am taking International Studies at the college I attend. One of the prerequisites for passing the class involves talking to people from a different culture than mine (aka the US of A) and learning about their culture. Glancing about the site and seeing the marvelous variety of people, I was hoping that someone non-Yankee would be willing to help me with this.
would a belgian (flemish) guy help you pass the class?
what are considered 'different' cultures? i guess all the above are still categorised as 'western culture', or do you see it differently?
even more: all with interests in the more specialised 'Irish musicologic culture'.
in what do polish, flemish, USAish and scottish cultures differ?
To quote Snoopy "my mind reels with sarcastic replies"
BUT seriously Padraig - I'm a welshman living in England, and I am very cultured. If I can be of any help, email me from here and we can discuss further.
and I'm an Irishman living in England - sounds like a series of bad jokes. I used to be cultured but six years of living in this dump has taken it's toll ;¬)
Mike, is that the Royal Oak in Ediburgh? Which night has a good session? It always used to be full of singers and odd balls (though Sandra's now retired, right enough).
WEll Padraig I'm an native born Irishwomen living in the West of Ireland, and grew up steeped in the traditions,language etc. so if I can be of any help, just shout.

Well - what about those of us who are ..er... mongrels... half English and half Welsh living rural West Wales. Born SW England (Bristol), grew up in NW England (Lancashire), studied in the middle (Birmingham) then lived in London then 15 years in Germany - but the last 4 in Wales are the Best - easy access to Ireland and lots of Welsh culture and music!
Hope you have interesting multi-cultural conversations!

Polish and Scottish cultures are the same, except they wear kilts and we talk all the time about the pope. Dunno about flemish and USAish tho. (I think it flemish involves wooden shoes and USAish catching cattle with a lasso).

Well I'm an Englishman living (for the past 12 years) in Wales, but possibly not very cultured. Feel free ...

Actually, you Danes are quite wonderful in fact. Do you go to Tonder? I see both Danu and Lunasa are there, this year.
