Culture clash and culture gurus?

I'm often amused by the simplistic and funny things these 'gurus' of culture and 'trends' say. As if it's some kind of exact science, or that populations, groups and societies are homogeneous - 'the japanese' like cutsie gizmos, 'the australians' like more 'conservative, reliable lifestyle fitting products' ...

I had better get rid of my hello Kitty underwear and buy some dark blue socks.

Hi Scott, very nice blog. It deserves a careful reading, and I added it to my favorites. Unfortunately my own is written in Portuguese, I´m brazilian. Maybe some day I´ll be able to write one bolg in English. I´m cellist and like teaching too.
Regards
Luciana

Hi Luciana, glad to hear you like the blog. I would love to visit Brazil one day, in fact I have a Brazilian friend who is in Australia at present and who has inspired me to get over there soon.

Shame about the language difficulties!
