I thought you have forgotten this completely because you've never written anything new the last time I checked. I did see that you were more active in Facebook, while I'm on facebook with impersonate figure to jump into sometimes hostile debates...(hahahaaaaa, which is just wasting times but funny looking at people being honest without revealing their identities). <br />Talking about culture and tradition, Indonesia has a lot of it, we have 33 provinces with different cultures and tradition. I think they all go back to tribalism that developed into more intricate elaboration. Every culture has its own traditional clothing and fabric, own language, own customs, own ceremonial ritual for wedding, baby birth, death, dance, food, etc. You should come to Indonesia to see those very interesting varied culture heheeeee....... So the world is actually very rich, isn't it?<br /><br />Hope you're doing good and great, eventhough I also have read the loss of your father. May he rests in Peace for his love of God.observant observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854462112422242194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-66335312582639899032012-06-03T09:11:53.640-05:002012-06-03T09:11:53.640-05:00Yes, now you see why I have a hard time coming up ...Yes, now you see why I have a hard time coming up with things to share! Maybe they are so much a part of me, that I don't even think they are traditions...they are just the way things are. :) Thanks for your feedback.

While I'm sure there are some traditions we maybe don't even think about (the different cultural assumptions and behaviors even just between the northern and southern US states probably means that we have very different and influential traditions), I can't think of anything specific I would call traditional. I think it may be true that the US has run from tradition, but couldn't completely do away with it. The way we live and the things we get used to doing become important to us and we pass them onto others, and that to me is tradition. We just don't call it that so much anymore, maybe because we want to be individuals, free from rules and structures set by other people in other times and places.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382787889525110718noreply@blogger.com
