vally Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Indeed I have!! I have no idea what the English may pole dance is.. but yes the pole we dance around is known as the may pole (majstång) haha We sing this song as we dance like frogs if anyone wanted to know : (This is in oldfashioned Swedish) "Små grodorna, små grodorna, är lustiga att se, X2 ej öron, ej öron, ej svansa hava de, X2 kooooacka-ka koacka-ka, koacka-ka-ka-kah" (dunno how that last part spells like but it's supposed to be a frog sound ) "[the] small frogs, [the] small frogs, are funny to watch, X2 no ears, no ears, no tails do they have, X2 *sound of frogs*" NORWAY!!!!!!

sun6chic Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 so i guess i shall add to this massive thread. (which i luv reading cuz i luv learning about different places). So i live in the state of Pennyslvania in the United States of America. Fun fact about Pennsylvania is we have a city called "Lebanon"....weird thing is, the people in this state have what we call a "pennsylvania dutch accent" & they pronounce "Lebanon" as "Leban-in". I still get corrected for saying "Leban-ON" lol. (cuz im not orginally from pennsylvania). Pennsylvania is home to the "philly cheesesteak" which is basically a sub-type sandwhich filled w/yummy steak & cheese. Oh & u know the movie "Rocky"? yeah that city where he lives, Philadelphia, yeah thats here too. lol. So other U.S. states i've lived in are California, Arizona, Texas, & Virginia. & i lived in Japan for 3years when i was little. (the life of a military brat. haha). Umm what else? oh well i speak English (obviously) but i can "parle un peu de francais". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findingmywords Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hmm, which culture to choose? Chilean, si? Alrighty then I can start with we have bland but great food, a hugely European influenced culture namely by the countries of Spain, Italy and Germany. We love our wine! Erm... There is, unfortunately, huge class separation and discrimination. Oh, and our futbol team hardly deserves mention. We are horrendous futbol players but can give anyone a run for their money in tennis And Argentina is our biggest rival country. haha Thats it for now =D oo yay another chilean!!!! Well, i was born in america, and my parents are both all chilean pretty much, except theres some german in them and in me!!

raha! Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 hm ok so another random tidbit about the indian culture. we have something called IST- indian standard time ......... indian families always arrive 1-3 hours late at functions, always! when my parents plan family parties, they tell everyone to come an hour earlier than they know they'll actually come. and whenever one family is leaving another family's house, here is the typical situation. mom- calls kids down from whatever they're doing- "ok we're leaving now! kids, we gotta go home!" so the kids come, put on their shoes and wait patiently...just to see both sets of parents chatting with each other in the foyer for another hour. with their shoes on. and if the kids dare to go back up to play, mom stops them in their tracks: "where do you think you're going? we're in the middle of leaving!"

LOL I do this sometimes with hours, sometimes just minutes. My clock in the car is always 6 minutes fast. I had a meeting at 10am once and put it in my diary for 9.00am so I wouldn't be late, but forgot I had done this, so when I saw a 9.00am meeting, I thought that I would aim for 8.00am so's to be good and early, turning up for a 10.00am meeting at 8.00am drank lots of coffee while waiting!

lunafish Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hallo folkens! Which means hello people. So, I'm from Norway. What's special about Norway? Well, I love the food and the beautiful nature. It doesnt snow all year, and icebears doesn't walk around in the streets. Just to clear that up. Haha. In the music scene, folksingers and rockbands are really popular. And metal of course. Norway is quite known for all the black metal bands. I was in America some weeks ago and I was really suprised how outgoing people are there. In Norway people are really shy and won't really talk to strangers. Or even sit next to you on the bus. Haha, all people arent like that, but most people. In the summer, it is really really nice in Norway. The weather is usually great. Quite hot and sunny. But even when it rains, it is beautiful here. If you want to go to Norway, you should go to the south, in July or August. 17th of May is Norway's National Day. We dress up in something called a "bunad", and all the schoolchildren walks in a parade with Norwegian Flags. And we eat alot of icecream and have games. It's a really fun day. What more shall I say? Hm, well..I can mention some of the most normal Norwegian food. "Kjøttkaker", which is almost like meatbolls. "Brunost" which is brown cheese. Okay, it sounds disguisting, but it is DELICIOUS. Haha. Something else that is really good is; "Fiskeboller" and "fiskekaker". It's made of fish, and it totally rules. Heheh. That was alot about food, I know. Probably because I'm hungry. One other thing that is really popular here, is all the musicfestivals! I can mention; Quart, Hove, Slottsfjell, Øya, Norwegian Wood, Storås and alot more! All of the festivals is usually in the summer, and it is really really popular. You should really check it out:thumb_yello: Well, that is really all I can think of right now.

Droopsy Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'm from Belgium, a little country in the middle of Europe. Half of us speak Dutch, half French, and at the border with Germany a minority speak German. We are supposed to be at least bilingual (Dutch and French), and we all get lessons in English and German at school.We are crazy about football too, but our National team doesn't do very well lately. (we once had a crazy goalkeeper called Jean-Marie Pfaff, who is very famous in Germany too:sorry:) We are very good in tennis, especially women (Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin) Our national food : French fries (we all think they should be called Belgian fries, because ours are so much better!) with mayonaise. We can eat it every day! And of course we have the world-famous Belgian chocolats! We don't have wine, but we have the best beer in the world (from Jupiler and Stella to specially brewed beer in old abbeys like Corsendonck, Westmalle...), and we drink it a lot... And we love to party! I'm totally with this post Except for the french fries, they're not only better, NO, we INVENTED them, so they SHOULD be called Belgian fries. I think they just took French fries so you have 2 times "fr' at the beginning of the words. Also there are belgian wafles right? And brussel's sprouts lol, sorry for you guys that don't like it lol. Another thing that's typical belgian is that we are somewhat reserved... I mean, we wouldn't just walk up to someone on the street and talk to them... Well okay, if Mika would walk down the street I would def jump him but that's another story of course lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eir Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 CIAO!!! I'm from ITALY...what can I say about my country? I love Italy, because it has a great history and I love history!!! Anyway you go you can find something historical (I live in a little little city near Milan and we have ancient palaces and a Church built in 1200 and rebuilt in 1500...etc). Of course we love to party every-time and every-where (sometimes we have alcoholic party in uny too ahahah) and use to go out on Saturday (I think that in other countries it's on friday...) Italian people is very coloured and characteristic...in particolar in the South, but not all of us is kind and funny, of course... Two Italian things are famous all over the world: our COOKING and FOOTBALL!!! Yes, in Italy one of the most important thing is to eat and we are very critics...in particular about pasta, pizza and coffee...Cooking is an art for us About football... well, we are World Champion and football has a so great influence on us that, after our winning, people has been kindier and friendly for a pair of weeks We are famous for our F1 team FERRARI too, which I loved when Michael Schumacher was still driving... I could write pages, but I don't want to annoy you anymore...anyway, to sum up, COME FIND ME IN ITALY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
