So I know this community is made up of people from all over the world and I’m curious to know where you’re all from.
So, today I’d like to ask you this, where are you from and what are some things that your home country is known for? 🙂
I’m from the United States and more specifically, live in the state of Wisconsin. The United States is known for many things, one being our major sporting events such as The World Series for baseball and The Superbowl for American Football. They say baseball is America’s favorite past time. 😉 Wisconsin is known for cheese, beer, the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, having the first Marcus Theater, and being the Badger State.
So, now tell me, what about your beloved home would you like to share? 🙂

India’s perhaps the most culturally diverse country in the world. To give an example, we have 21 official languages, which further have several dialects. Every region, every state has a different history. It’s overwhelming!

I am from Germany and my country used to be known for poets and philosophers. Nowadays I guess it is better known for beer, sausages and bread. Which isn’t a bad thing either 😉

I’ve always loved my German heritage, but want to know more about it! 🙂 And yay for great bread! What do you enjoy most about Germany?
LikeLike
Phew! That is a tricky question. As with many daily things we take a lot for granted.
But I think the things I like most are the language and the dialects – someone from the north will have a hard time understand someone from the south and vice versa – and the many regional traditions. Also the rich history on which those traditions are founded.
Having German heritage what do you associate with Germany? Do you have some German traditions in your family?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Hmm. Growing up, I’d always associated Germany with good chocolate, brats, other sausage, beer, The Wall, etc. I’ve studied the country and bit, so I know there is more to it than that though.
The only German traditions I’ve grown up with are saying the German translation of Bless You when one sneezes, can’t spell it though and learning how to do a couple dances. But, I want to experience much more some day, hopefully in Germany one of these years. 🙂

I agree, The heat and I have a Love/Hate Relationship, ha. Where are you from? Yes the scenery there is amazing. Red Rock over looks Vegas so the view there is beautiful. Mt. Charleston is a forest so that has its own unique taste especially since it’s a desert out here.

Right now, hot and humid. 😉 But, there’s a lot to do here. Devil’s Lake is one place where people camp, rock climb, canoe, hike, go just to enjoy the fall colors, etc. We’re also known for The Dells, short for Wisconsin Dells. It has the largest outdoor water park, lots of tourist shops, boat tours, Go-Karts, mini golf, and so on. Summerfest is a music festival that people from out of state make the trip for. They host everything from well known bands you hear on the radio to local bands just trying to catch a break. If you like sports, art, theater, or fine food, we have places to explore for that too. My favorite theater experience in Wisconsin so far has been at The Fireside. They serve you an amazing dinner first and then you make your way into the theater for a wonderful show. I’ve only seen Les Miserables and Sister Act there so far, but they were both great shows. I’d definitely recommend a visit if you can make it someday!

I’m sold with the Devils Lake, it sounds like my place to be. I’m a huge fan of water parks so it’s definitely a must to check that out. You give such detail, thank you 🙂 I’m actually an Artist myself so I try to go to all places that revolve around the art scene. After reading this I will definitely make it a place to visit.

I’m not your typical artist, as in painter or sculpter, but I love admiring the work. I have a friend that is a local artist who has had some shows, love going to support her work and give my support. 🙂 My art forms are writing and singing. One day, I hope to be published. For now though, just working on putting together a bunch of my poetry for a collection.
