russian festival day
a little taste of everything
lots and lots of happy dancing
traditions, tea, wine, beer, language, music, religion, art, history
loved experiencing this culture
the people so passionate about it
and all so new to me.

This is a country we know so little about…. Relatives of us lived in M for years and we realised how we had opinions based in very few facts. This is one great way of ‘opening’ up minds and hearts.

We have a wonderful multicultural day here in Geelong … called the “Pako Festa”, and many Russians settled here after the War …Sadly because of ‘Covid’ the event was cancelled this year ..

There’s more to culture than barbecue, beer and square dancing. But that’s nice too.
Passion is good. It’s the over passionate that is not so good.

Festivals are a great way to experience different cultures without taking time off work or breaking the bank! We went to a Polynesian festival this weekend and immersed ourselves in all things Pacific island for a few hours. It was glorious! I know our area holds these cultural events frequently. I’d love to visit more of them.

Culture is a complex structure. Ask ten different people what it is and you might get ten different answers. To me, it’s a tapestry of belief, habit, history, food, and music.

I read a fascinating book where the author took a train across the entire country…I think the more we can understand them as a people with a culture, and appreciate it, the more we can refuse to allow those in charge to fight about everything.
