Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in I'm also from Pennsylvania. I live in Lancaster County, so there are a lot of Amish people near where I'm from. It's not at all unusual to see horse and buggies driving on the roads, and there are farms all around where I live. In the summer and fall, you can go to little produce stands that are run by the Amish that want to sell their goods, so it's easy enough to get locally grown fruits and veggies. Speaking of food, for some reason, Shady Maple, which is a grocery store/buffet-style restaurant, is a tourist trap. Since we live very near there, we often do our grocery shopping there, and it's a nice store. But I don't get why people travel from all over the state to eat at the restaurant. I've been there a couple of times, and I think the food is rather meh. It always used to boggle my mind whenever I'd hear people ranting and raving about going there. I mostly heard stuff like that when I lived in Philadelphia, and I still do on occasion.You also gotta love the names of some of the towns around here. I'm sure that PA is far from the only state that has suggestively named towns, but we have stuff like Blueball, Intercourse, and Bird in Hand. Blueball is actually pretty close to where I'm from, there used to be a neat bowling alley there when I was a kid, but it's since closed down.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in I'm about 15 minutes west of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. My local library was a stop on The Underground Railroad. Philadelphia is the home of the cheese take and the Tastee Cake. Tastee cakes are snack cakes that come in packs with chocolate peanut butter and butter scotch crimp it’s among some of the best. We also have soft pretzels and water ice. We have local convenience stores called Wawa founded her with stores as far south as Florida. Around here we also have little drive through stores called Swiss Farms where you can buy milk, ice tea, bread, and desserts. We even have a few trolleys single train cars powered by an eletric where above it. I live 2 blocks down from a park which I used to go to often as a kid to play. Without talking about Philly more that's about it around here.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in I envy nomads and feel devastated when their nomadic lives are ruined.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in @ 37 I agree to a point, but I think people who Live in a rural areas or places like New Orleans tend to have more customs. It's a little close minded to say no one besides the native americans have a culture, but I think, by far, because of what america has turned in to in most places, native americans have the closest to what we think of as traditional culture. I see where your coming from though. I think everyone has a culture. But I also think, in today’s world, in some it is stronger than others.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in This is part of the reason I always felt the need to split parts of myself off from people, and only show the parts of myself that I thought they could handle. I don't generally tell people things like that, for example. The deeper, philosophical part of me is something I only bring out for the right types of people. Most people can't deal with it or don't care. Then I always feel like people are so narrowly focused in their view of things. Even some very intelligent people. They will miss trivial leaps of logic, or not connect the dots when it feels very obvious. I also see how repressed certain people are. I guess how this ties into culture and the like is that tribal folks don't seem that way to me. They seem free and liberated from societal bullshit, and free to be themselves wherever they may be.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in Hi.@31, yeah, people are like that over here. It depends though on where you are in germany. The people in the north are usually very silent and don't talk much unless you really know them, going southward people get more open, till you meet the southern edge of germany, Bavaria for example where the people again are not really talkative.And yeah, we got a huge array of Sausages, different bread types and this dendency to eat potatoes with almost every kind of meal.Greetings Moritz.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in I am supposed to be part Native American, a sub-tribe of the Iroquois. I've always felt a strong connection to the land, and feel like people don't respect it enough. I always feel like I need some time in nature to cleanse out my mind from all the bullshit of the city, and when I get that, it's amazing for me.I was watching Youtube videos on Tuvan throat singing, and it interested me, so I tried to imitate it. I was doing this on teamtalk. Well, it sort of turned into more of a chant, and I was chanting, and not even in words, just syllables that didn't make sense. Now, someone does something like that, they might expect to get laughed at, but people started joining in, and it sort of built up, and then this sort of feeling of great power burst out of me. It was amazing. SO what I plan to do is go to the mountains where my family is from, up at our place there, and go into the woods, and do the same thing. I think the feeling will be more immense because it's the land I feel the strongest ties to, and I'll be in the woods on the mountain where I really do belong.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in The smallpox blankets thingy was around 1600-1700 something. Killed more than 10 million natives on the land, enough for cheaters to set foot and destroy. If they didn't play dirty, I doubt they'd get natives under control as easy as now. See, parts of American lands were historically native americans', but then these English speakers came from nowhere and tried to brutally enforced something on them that was completely incompatible with their lives. I'm not native american myself, but I seriously adore them and their culture. I love their free spirits. I love their tribalism. I love how close to nature they try to be. These pieces of shit colonizers never have these things, and won't ever have. They think they're superior, but sorry, they're much less than inferior. Now they own the land that wasn't theirs, drive the real owners of the land who never even call themselves owners to some worse than shit places. I tell ya, as much land as you think you may own, it's only a hole under the dirt or a spec of ash in the wind when you die. So much for that.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in @Simba, The most surprising thing I was faced with when I came to Germany was that people on the street would greet you without knowing or ever having seen you before. I study in a small town called Vechta and whenever I walk on the street, people keep saying "Moin" to me, which means something like hello. It was so strange in the first days because in my culture randomly saying hello to someone indicates that you want him/her to help you. I really love it. It doesn't matter if you're in an intersection, park, mountain, forest, or whatever, if you come across someone, he/she will say "Moin".The next surprising thing is the unlimited number of sausages you have here in Germany. I've tried more than 15 in just 20 days. It's crazy.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in Yeah. Although somethings aren't like what people say. For instance, Two years ago(1396), There was the wedding ceremony of one of my families. Another family of myne lives in china and of course have friends there. He came to Iran and brought some of his friends with him here. After they saw the wedding ceremony they were amazed. They thought Iran is one of those places that everything is war and actually happyness isn't something but their opinions looked changed a lot. They enjoyed the ceremony. Well, one of those loud musics again. I remember I went outside of the salon that the wedding ceremony was taking place just because of the loud music.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in Hello. I come from iran. You are very likely to know what's going on here at the moment, the economy status and stuff alike. These are said and are being said so I skip to the good stuff. My country is farely big about 1.648 million km². It's population is around 81.16 milion(2017). Our culture is really different than a lot of countries in europe, america or even asia. For example our new year celebration. It happens in 13 days. Families usually visit their relatives in that time, they get new clothing, Some people try to change themselves and generally there's a kind of joy between people in these 13 days. At the 13th day, people leave their houses and usually go out of their cities and have a lot of fun such as playing, dancing and such cool stuff. Let me say this before I forget. Our year is based on sun and we're currently in the year 1398. This is another special thing about us.As I mentioned above, Iran is a farely big country. It has a lot of planes and jungles which some of them are now really got hurt due to wrong road buildings and stuff like that inside them. It still has a lot of beautiful natural places to visit. Yeah we are muslims but we're a lot different than a lot of other islamic countries out there. E.G when we're supposed to be happy, we really are. One of these events that we're supposed to be happy in, is the wedding cerimonies. People dance a lot in these situations with freekin loud musics that just wanna blow your chest off. I've been in one of them about two hours ago and my ears were making weird tone noises due to the very loud music playing. These are something like techno mixed with iranian style rhythms.People usually play piano, violin guitar,, santoor(an iranian instrument), tar, setar, dotar, ney, tombak, zarb, daf, dariye(which are all local instruments). People here really love wasting their money on certain stuff such as food, luxury mobile devices and such. I'm one of the food boys lol. When I want to order a food I go with the thing I want without paying attention to the price. I even bought two pizzas at once to eat or usually order those big pizzas that are for a family. I have to tell you that the normal sized pizzas here are big enough to make you not wanting to eat anything else after eating one of those pizzas. I still haven't and probably won't be going into detail about the great and beautiful historic museums here, historic places and old stuff like these which Iran is full of.Edit: It looks like I forgot to write about the pronunciations that are so vary here. The actual language that Iranian people speak is persian. Nevertheless We have people that speak turkish and are Iranians, we have people that speak arabic and are Iranians, I think once upon a time we had Iranians that would speak like portugals. I have to say that the turkish language that is being used in iran is different than the turkish language that is being used in turkie. Only a very small number of words are the same.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in I live in Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada. You’ve probably come across Poutine (fries with cheese curds and gravy for those who don’t know), which was invented here, and if you speak French you’ve probably seen at least one sit com episode that jokes about how unlike normal French Quebec French sounds. It’s an interesting place, to say the least. Being the biggest non-English speaking area for several thousand KM in any direction creates some interesting oddities, as well as an intense determination to keep the culture and language going even with all the external push back. Quebec produces more French entertainment media than any other place on the planet, including France.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in Hi.I come from an arria in Germany called the Ruhrgebiet, the Ruhr arria, the Ruhr is a river which encloses this arria of Germany together with the Rhine, it is located in the central of North-Rhine-Westfalia.The Arria is widely known for it's mining activitys which were actually recognized throughout Europe. In fact, the Ruhr Arria was the biggest ore and cole mining place in Europe and was a very big factore in the rebuilding of Germany after the second world war had ended.The mining has now stopped, as a matter of fact, the last mining site has been closed recently.One thing that we are known for is what we call a raw hardiness, you will find someone from the Ruhr Arria talking to you and even though he might sound angry with you, he already could be your best friend. due to the way that the people talk and the expressions they use, you get a really rough sounding German. Things like grammar also follow their own ways.for example, you don't say, it's raining, you would say it is doing raining. You can't really transcribe it well, you would need to listen in comparison to your normal high German. Or, you don't go to your grand mas house, you go to, grand ma her house. Also, when a word ends with an s sounds, we make a t out of the sound. Due to that we speak really fast, you also pull words together, a simple, come on turns into a cmone as an example. The language is also heavily influenced by people from other cuntrys coming hear to find work in the mining sites or the steal industry. Parts of the polish language found their way into modern speak. A Mottek is basically just a mining hammer which you take to work, while a Matka is an elderly round female. Mostly, people have a hard shell and a soft core so to speak, with a lot of passion for their place of birth, people know that they took a large part in the rebuild of Germany and you can definatelly feel that when talking to older persons, of whom went underground in the 50s to 70s to mine the ore. Friendship plays a large role here. Also, Soccer is really a thing here and you will found two teams which everyone is after, which are local rivals. When these teams are heading for a match in one of the two home towns, you really feel that fire burning and everyone beeing under pressure. Also, and people from berlin might object to that, but we were the inventors of the Currywurst, basically sausages with a curry sauce, french fries and ketchup or mayonaise with the fries, traditionally you drink a beer, mostly a Pils to that.The Ruhgebiet is changing rappitly. The time where the laundry which you hung out to dry and it turned all dirty due to the smoke of the industrial machines is over, more and more green parks and arrias are founded. Well, one nuisance remains though, the famous Autobahn, or rather highway a40 which draws a line through the whole arria is a major pain in the ass because everytime you have to travel it, you sooner or later land in a traffic jam.So, even though the people over hear seam rough and a little blunt, don't be scared and give us a visit if you are in germany, I am happy to show you around.Greetings Moritz.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in This was a little off topic but kind of not. @ 23 Well said. I agree.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in I'm facinated by cultures of the tribes. You guys have probably heard me calling myself one of the tribe often. It's not just becauuse I'm of one but I indeed love it, even though most of the world's tribal life is ruined by social structure and everything. I love when I see native americans doing their dancing, and hate to know the fact that they live in reservations instead of being able to roam freely as their spirits call.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in Interesting stuff, I'd be particularly interested if people like Omar could elaborate on Istanbul and places like that, since I love travelling and hearing about places which are radically to the UK.Ah, when you said "Frito pie" I thought you meant with pastry . I've occasionally had nachos topped with chilly and cheese, or sometimes whe I've made a chilly we've stuck some corn cchips on the top and stuck some cheese on which is nice. Indeed, there's a local place which sets out to be a mockup of an American diner from the fifties (complete with Elvis and lots of cheesy fifties rock music), who do a pretty amazing chilly with corn chips.I experienced a bit of Pennsylvania Dutch when was staying with my sister in law over there. My lady feels about the pensylvania dutch accent rather the way I do about the nottingham one . As someone who has spent 17 years in Germany and speaks fluent German, she can also give you a full discourse on the differences between Dutch and German, and how Pennsylvania dutch doesn't sound like German either . Well we don't have fire ants in Britain, about the nastiest thing you'll find in the wild over here insect is the odd wasp, and fortunately in the Midlands insects aren't as common as they are in some parts of the country.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in 6 Flags are all over the country, I was at one and it was in New Jersey. We have daddy long legs too, and they are actually very poisonous, it's just they can't bite you because their jaw doesn't open far enough. Fire ants, oh yeah, we got them. I think it was last summer when I got bit by a bunch of them down at our pond. I didn't realize it at the time, because I had knocked a large rock into the pond trying to work on the pump and unclog it. I had to haul the rock back up, and it was massive. I did that but while I was doing it, I must have been getting bit. I took a shower after, because I was elbow deep in the water and it was scummy and algae filled. About halfway through, I got these pains in both legs and left arm and hand. There were fire ants on my clothing, all over the bathroom, probably a hundred or so. The pain was unimaginable. It came in waves, where the trough of the wave was merely bearable, and the crest of the wave felt like the devil himself was slicing through your very soul with hot plasma.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in I can tell the difference between German and Dutch. It's hard to explain though. German has more sounds like in Munchen or Leppsich. It seems like in Dutch, those sort of back of the mouth throaty H sounds turn into K sounds. Dutch also has more rolling R sounds, but it sounds like they use their throat to do it rather than the tongue. I don't really speak either language, but I've heard both enough to tell the differences.

Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
Re: what's something special about region of the country you live in
@Dark: yeah, those are Fritos, and yeah, Frito Chili Pie is literally them + Chili in something resembling pie form. IMO, it's one of the only ways Fritos are all that good (I mean, they literally taste like dog-feet. As in they have the same chemical makeup of dog-feet.)What's special about where I live? ... Umm... nature ... stuff? It use to be nice in the summer but ever since 1998 or so the climate has been in a Cubist phase, which the mosquitos love. I guess I'm not too horribly far from slightly more interesting places, like Memphis (the one with Graceland and the Civil Rights Museum), and a place called Toadsuck. Every year, Toadsuck has a festival based around Toad-sucking, although Idr if literal toad-sucking is involved anymore. There was a relevant backstory to this that made sense when I read it, but that was when I took the SAT or something and I don't remember anything about the SAT other than the part about weird town names. And they left out the weird town names I was actually curious about ("Smackover" sounds like some manner of rowdy holiday, and no one around had any idea where "Possum Grape" came from and I had to go to LCB before I heard someone reference the nigh-forgotten idiom whence it came. Turns out "like a possum eating grapes" was, at one point, similar to "like a bump on a log" in usage. Which apparently means the people of Possum Grape knew exactly how boring the place was back when they named it.).But the only thing anyone ever mentions about the area more immediately at hand is Crolleigh's Ridge. ... Or Croley, I forget how it's spelled. Sounds like the sirname of a certain Allastar. It's... a ridge. With ... forests. Oh, and Parken. Parken's not far. There use to be a moundbuilder city there, 500 years ago. Then Hernando De Soto came and did what Conquistadores do to ancient cities, and now it's an unremarkable plot of nature with some signs, tourguides, and the occasional archaeologist. At some point, the mote was drained, which was pointed out on a fieldtrip via the guide giving their schpiel from in the grass below the bridge, while the visitors stood on said bridge.Otherwise, old and old-assimilated people around here still use the word "yonder", but it's mostly used synonymously with "there", rendering it pointless as the third-person location pronoun. Also, I recently discovered that "in the floor" and "whalago" are regional phrases. The latter being "a while ago" run together with a Southern accent so thoroughly that it now means the opposite of "a while ago". Kinda like "it's been a minute" somehow came to mean "it's been a while" in the past 4 years. As in, it's been a minute since "whalago" didn't mean "within the past few minutes" and "been a minute" meant "roughly a minute or five have passed". Can't wait to see what words get swapped next. Maybe they'll bring back those Poptart commercials, where it's so cool it's hot and so hot it's cool.

We have our kind of sausages, curries and more, many of which aren't well known in Thai cuisine for tourists but are just amazing. We have our musical instruments and dances.
