The Culture Thread

This is a thread devoted to different cultures. Here you can discuss what your culture is and share things about it or talk/ask questions about another culture. Stuff like that to educate other union members and let them get to know you better.

I'm from Florida.... Not really sure what to say about my culture...epayps2

you must have something to say :)

I was born and grew up in Minnesota. 'Minnesota Nice' is a joke btw.. for the most part. As for culture, not sure what to talk about. I'm part German and a lot of other things that I don't remember.mewantcookie

what is Minnesota like? urban? or country like?MichaeltheCM

Well, where I live it's urban, though there's plenty of countryside in Minnesota. I pretty much live in the heart of Minnesota (the Twin Cities area), so I've always liked just getting away going up north or something, pretty much just get away from the crazyness of the cities.
