Hi Everyone !!
I just got home from my sociology class about culture and one of the things we were asked to do is list some things that were unique to our culture/country.
So I ask you, my friends from various countries around the globe....What is a symbol that is unique to your country or culture?????

Mi isla querida, como te quiero. Como me encantaria jugar en tus playas una vez mas.
I would say the statue of liberty, given to us by the French, who helped us win the Revolutionary War, but don't seem to like us much these days.
Holland, hmm what comes to mind...
Legal pot / marihuana
Legal prostitution
XTC
Mills
Heineken
Secularism
Not much to be proud of I'm afraid, save Heineken and secularism...

Da Stillers.
Steelers football is bigger than God on Sunday.
Also, Pittsburgh's Primanti Bros. Sandwiches, with coleslaw and french fries ON the sandwich, is legendary.

An excellent thread!
I feel like I belong to many cultures. But I will tell you what I perceive is the Texas culture, my home.
cowboy hats and boots
Longhorn cattle
Oil wells
Pick'mup trucks and Beamers
and one of my favorites.......Bluebonnets
If my antics are anything to go by, then for the English, it has to be our dedication to TEA.

TEXAS (a country unto itself at times): Bluebonnets, pickup trucks, and a really big sky.
Have you noticed that skies look different in different countries? For example, in St. Croix the sky is somehow cozier, a cheerful blue with pillow soft clouds bouncing along and cheerful chirping of banana quits. In the Northern Territory of Australia there's the feeling that the sky goes on forever, a hard blue with unforgiving sun, and at sunset bright pink when the flocks of galah cockatoos fly overhead.
