| Why not give yourself a quick "Cultural Awareness" check? Have a go at identifying the greetings on the Index Page - the answers are in the next column. (If you know any I haven't listed, you can send them to me at baorencrrt@quista.net) Then there's a quiz to try (feel free to print it off), and finally have a look at the poems at the bottom of the right column. How do you feel about what they say? | |||
