Celebrate cultural differences!

Whether you believe in the existence of heaven and hell or not, everyone around the world will generally agree that heaven is the ideal and hell is, well ... the opposite. This poster says a lot about our cultural characteristics.

British are known for being orderly and very good at maintaining law and order.
Italians cook the most delicious food.
Germans can make and fix things with superb precision.
French are the world's romantics.
Swiss keep things running like clockwork (yes, pun fully intended).

When each of these nationalities is in his element, everyone is happy and things run smoothly. Exactly the way heaven should be, or at least we think heaven is like that.

However, when the different nationalities try to do something they are not good at, oh my! All hell breaks loose! Chaos!

The best advice I have heard is to find what you are good at and do it well! Everyone will be happy! We will be in seventh heaven!

So what is your country known for? Make that your passion and bring heaven to earth!

Vive la cultural differences!

Does eating fat kill you?

Here's some fun facts that a friend sent me:

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

I did say food unites us across the globe! Here's to eating what we enjoy!
