That’s because we (Americans) don’t HAVE culture. Maybe small bits here and there but it’s mostly strip malls and chain stores.American culture has only been around for a few hundred years… the rest of the world has several hundred or thousands of years of culture.Sad, but true.

This calendar is pretty great, I especially liked the explorer boiling in the pot and waving happily (the African one).

I don’t know if anyone feels the same, but if that’s the image people have of America I don’t think I would like us either. When I think of America today I tend to think of some place like modern San Francisco or Portland, not diners that remind me of the ’70s. Either that, or historical places like Boston.When I talk to people here from Korea or China they’re generally proud of their culture, but for Americans that doesn’t seem to be the case. It’s not like we don’t have culture to be proud of, either–for whatever reason, though, the most obnoxious aspects of our culture stuck.
