WOW - yeah what Chris said... and...

Words of wisdom for contact with any culture, not just for those discovering the past. My teenage holiday to Majorca was ruined by all the British pubs. We may think our own culture is the best in the world, but that's no need to impose it on every other culture. If you go abroad - savour the culture there the same way you savour the neolithic culture. By immersing yourself in as close to the real thing as you can, not some fakerylaid out for those that don't want to leave their comfort zone, mentally, physically or spiritually. Perhaps it isn't that you will never visit abroad again, but that you need to take that attitude with you when you go.


Line overheard at a cafe in Spain "Wot d'ya mean ya dow 'ave red sauce? Wots ma babby gonna eat wiv her chips?" Nice moment for me. I always just pretend I'm German if there are lots of Brits about. They seem to want everything the same as home, just with better weather... Savour what places have to offer or stay at home, thats my moto :)
