Hi everyone!
Since I really liked Silvie's homework post on (de)constructing the German national identity, I have tried to use the same pattern to do something back. :)
I don't know why, but I have strong feeling that this kind of list can be included in our final product... Maybe because this is the way to discover some kind of common ground between two nations, but also to make fun of stereotypes that any national identity is created from. :)
Silvie, thanks for inspiration. :)
I know your list is just a beginning of an never ending story, but this is what I really like about it.
I even think that we can use it as the game for the group.
Who knows where it can lead us? :)))
See You tomorrow.
Love,
minja
