Can someone rephrase the question? I don't get it :/

let me try again
the question is
people from two different cultures interact and one of them finds that the other's cultural values are offensive to him/her. what would you do in such situation?
We have that in Scotland, as it's a divided Country when it comes to religion. Catholics vs Protestants. I'm a Catholic and support Celtic, Protestants support Rangers and there's no in between. That's a real clash of two cultures. You should read up about it? There's parts of Scotland, that I can't go, because if they find out I'm a Catholic, I could get attacked, or killed, as it's happened to people before countless times!


stay safe Larsson.
it feels good to see you roaming around in forums sharing your fair share of wisdom.
don't go to risky places man even if and when you're drunk :stuck_out_tongue:
When I'm drunk? Very rarely does that happen, as if I'm not working, then I've got my son with me all the time. No way would I get drunk, while he's there. There's a time and a place for that. As for staying away from dangerous places? Pretty hard when you're coming home from a football match, as you never know who you might bump into. Gotta keep your faculties and wits about you at all times! :thumbsup::sunglasses:

Change your headline to "Do You Want A Tussle, With My Cheesey Muscle?" That my friend should have them beating doors down to get to you! :thumbsup::sunglasses::beer:

It was Laura's dream to get married over there and we had the money to do it, so we done it Shelley. :thumbsup::sunglasses:

Mauritius is well known as the honeymoon spot and for good reason.
Thankfully the beaches will open soon. I found some quiet beaches that are great for swimming and privacy :beach::island:

I found some stunning beaches in the Outer Hebrides, in Scotland, that could rival some in Mauritius, if only we had the weather to go with it though! Places like the Isles of Harris and Lewis, are really nice. Took my oldest boy up there fishing a few times Shelley. :fish::fishing_pole_and_fish::thumbsup::sunglasses:

: Just getting ready for the Scottish Football League season in 6 weeks, as I've just renewed mines, my oldest and youngest sons season tickets, for next year about 10 minutes ago. We've already won the last 9 League titles in a row, now we're going for a Scottish record of 10 straight League trophy wins next season! :thumbsup::sunglasses::beer:

Looks like the rain isn't far away where I am and it's 16°C also. Another crappy day I bet!

Not been there yet but Scotland is nr 1 on my bucket list.

I've always loved England too! Sure as heck would want to go there, Somerset is great! I'd like to go back to Glastonbury and then not be ill, hihi. But also exploring the area around it.
And go to Stonehenge, in the inner circle with a special ticket!

Also still heart broken about missing out on New Orleans when I was in the USA :'(
I'd love to go there one day.

And back to Uluru, Australia! love But that's a very costly one, hihi.
Let's first see I get to Scotland at some point!
I was at the Glastonbury Festival last year Crystal. Got a photo on my profile that was taken there. I'm the one with the green and white Celtic top on, alongside some mates of mine! :thumbsup::sunglasses::notes::headphones:

Nice. I know that's a big festival. Not why I want to go there though, haha. To be honest I feel it's a shame they decided to hold those there. Plenty of other nice places, even in the area. The reason is probably similar to putting a main road right up to Stonehenge and another road right through the Avesbury stonecircles.
I'm interested in power places, yet 'they' are out to ruin them with roads or a festival.

There's power places in Scotland too. That's what I'm interested in, as well as the people, and Culloden! If it were up to me I'd start there, hihi.
It was similar when I went to London. Plenty to see there, but I was really only interested in the Tower of London. :smile:
There was a stone circle area, at Glastonbury, when I was there last year. I remember that area, as all the hippies and stoners, were up there. There's a few sites up the North of Scotland and The Orkneys too, that have standing stones also. My favourite place though is the Isle of Skye, as it's just a magical place Crystal. I could defo see you not wanting to leave there, as it's just something about Skye, that makes you not want to leave. If I could move my business up there without affecting anything I would. :thumbsup::sunglasses:

Hippies and stoners... see, that's why I feel it's a shame. Drugheads and boozers at one of the most spiritual power places in the world! It's ridiculous.

I'd love to go to Skye, and from there to the Isle of Staffa to see Fingal's Cave! So yet another boat trip, and there's nothing else there, so it'd be for that cave only, haha.
I'd also want to see the old mansion that they use in "Outlander" to represent Lallybroch. It's so rotten you're not even allowed to go inside, no windows, part of the roof missing, hahaha. They gotta do quite some work on it for the shots. But I'd like to see it!
There's a Dutch tour operator who also does magickal tours to Scotland and their trip takes you to a great many power places. I'd LOVE to do that, but it's costly and I believe it's a week only, meaning you're going to be shattered when you get home, lol. And I want to see Culloden. That's a must.

You'd be better flying to either Glasgow, or Edinburgh Airports and arranging your own holiday in advance Crystal. At least you speak good English, which won't help you much, as you'll find it hard to understand us! :joy::joy: I'm lucky to stay in a beautiful Country and Scotland, never stops surprising me. You always seem to find somewhere, or someplace, more special than the one before when you start exploring here. I tend to stay off the more well known touristy areas in Scotland now and look for the hidden gems, as they're still out there waiting to be found! :thumbsup::sunglasses:

I wouldn't mind. I also managed in Marrakech where hardly anyone spoke English and my French is like the dodo: it went extinct, hahaha.
And I survived a holiday in Leeds area, which was also difficult if ppl spoke their own lingo. I was exposed to that as I stayed with a mate near Leeds and all his mates turned up for a BBQ to meet me, lol. I often had to turn to Nyge, my friend, to help me out, hihi.

But tell me one thing that interests me... Michael McIntyre has this sketch on using the Scottish pound in London and the English making a big hairy deal out of that.
Then there always being a Scot shouting "Excuse me mate, that's legal tender!"
Is that true? Are the English difficult about accepting your legal tender?
You can spend it no bother around the big Railway Stations like Euston, Kings Cross and St. Pancras International, as they're used to Scottish travellers getting on and off there, as Euston and King Cross, are the two major hubs in either coming or going from Scotland. Try going to Essex, where I lived and worked before and it's a different kettle of Fish, or the West End of London and trying to spend Scottish money is nigh on impossible. I usually changed my Scottish notes in the bank, or Post Office, without any bother. Sometimes I just kept it for the next time I flew up for a Celtic game, as I kept my season ticket at Celtic Park, open every year, so I could go to the games that my job allowed me to go to! It is legal currency though, but some people are just ignorant, of that fact Crystal! :thumbsup::sunglasses:

A clash of two cultures? Try living in Scotland, when it's a Celtic v Rangers Derby day match, in Glasgow! I've been to countless games and had to fight my way home also at times against complete strangers in the street, just because I support Celtic! :joy::joy::joy::thumbsup:
