Ready for the next round of ‘Culture Vultures’?
This time, we, Florence and Bettina, talk about identification – and explore the traits, habits and values that make Florence (feel) German.
- I, Florence share how sayings from my German foster mother – “What you start, you have to finish” or “One never talks about how much one earns” – still shape her today and form part of her identity.
- I also reflect on my sense of diligence and my aversion to superficiality – qualities she recognises as deeply German – and how having lived abroad for a while made these even more pronounced.
What about You? Which culture do you most identify with? What defines the “cultural being” you are – the values, the sayings, the everyday habits
