Isn't it interesting, learning about other countries, cultures, religions on DU?

This is meant in all seriousness. Thank you DUers all over the world for sharing with DU. Not only the large differences, but the little stuff. So much of what is typical for each of us we do not even notice we take for granted without even realizing it.

I appreciate all who take the time to educate us, to share, to correct our misconceptions because none of us knows everything.

Thank you.
