Some people call it progress I choose to call it cultural annihilation. I love the feeling of being somewhere very different from what I am used to and when I go abroad I don't want to eat egg & chips from a Brit owned greasy spoon. I want to get a true feel & flavour of the local people, their traditions, language, food and lifestyle.<br />I hope they will wake up before their towns and villages are taken over by foreigners or at the very least that the foreigners respect the cultural heritage and take steps maintain it...xXxFrocktasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649180645331805365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983105132080837037.post-69688611050392171612013-03-21T14:27:05.116-07:002013-03-21T14:27:05.116-07:00Hi dear!!
