Post here some of your country's traditions! You can do it, mate :D
Comment has been collapsed.
My countries traditions, as of late, are to invade some countries and start pointless wars without ending them while bankrupting our entire financial system for the 99%, As well as destroying any fair chance of being able to make something of ones self due to a dysfunctional government and greedy congress and senate that blocks our leader from trying to help us do anything that would benefit us not in the 1%.
Sorry, I'm NOT proud to be an American.

the truth :/ also, not too proud of some of the things that our country does...
Comment has been collapsed.
As a non-american... i can argue that you SHOULD be proud... of your open-mindedness. ;)
Regardless of agreeing with you 100% or not (merely as i don't think it is my place to do so as non-american, because an american would be better informed). :)
As a portuguese, my country has little to no capability to invade any country or start pointless wars (thankfully, actually), but we still manage to copy you guys in all the rest that you've pointed out, even with a very different government system, but just as dysfunctional... Go figure. :(
I guess there's a reason we're often times referred to as a somewhat americanized culture?
I think if there ever was a time and age to start making a much clearer distinction between a patriot and a nationalist, this is it.
Sadly, according to our own dictionary at least, they're one and the same.
Because i do still love my country and the majority of its people (and its culture, especially that of the past), but i hate what it's become for the most part and hate what it's becoming even more so.
All in all, for what it's worth i think we all need to look at ourselves as citizens of the world more than ever.
Just my rather long 2 cents though. :)
EDIT:
Here's at least 1 beauty to behold from Portugal. ;)

Close, I'm in the western US, just an ocean away from Japan, I really want to go there someday, though. I think their culture seems more like me than the States' does.
I've mastered asking a very important question: 何処わトイレ？
I'm still working on the rest...

quick japanese tip! you use the は (but still pronounce it as わ) character instead of the わ character to indicate the topic of a sentence. :)

Yeah, sorry, I know that, but I still forget to use it when typing with the English keyboard thingy... Oops. Thanks for reminding me, though, I didn't even notice I used the wrong one, it's easier when talking, lol...

I live in India. Can't upload some pics right now but take a "Namaste" from me. Also visit my country for some bone chilling spicy food. mmmm.

My country tradition is to eat a lot of food at every holiday. Oh and possibly to "argue" with anyone who enters your home becuse they don't want to drink that glass of wine/any other strong drink.

Oh we know what it looks like.
And oh how I love the faces of those tourists...
Gordon tries some food we commonly eat.(including mämmi)
IMO. The stuff she tells him to put on that cheese is horrible and it ruins the cheese.

The New Zealand haka is a performance combining song and dance. Pictures do it no justice, so here's a short video example.

ANZAC day is a day where we commemorate the war veterans from WW1 to present. We play a game called "2 up" which is a gambling game that's is banned on all other days.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, that's a nice tradition :) And how to exactly play this game? :)
(Added, anyways, just want to know :) )
Comment has been collapsed.
Basically you need
- 2 coins (heavy coins is best)
- kip (the wooden thing that holds the coins)
- a crowd of people (the more the merrier)
- beer (optional but I've never seen this game played without it)
One person is chosen (usually a person from the army or navy) to be the spinner. The spinner's job is to use the kip to throw the 2 coins in the air until they win or lose. 2 heads means the spinner wins, 2 tails is a loss, 1 heads and 1 tail means the spinner throws the coins again.
If the spinner wins or loses, another person is chosen to be the spinner. Before the spinner throws the coins he/she has to place a bet against another player. Winner takes all.
The crowd will make bets on the side among themselves whether or not the spinner wins or loses.

Hmm, that's great and easy to play :) Thank you :)
