Folks,
I believed many of us had traveled to many different parts of the world, either as tourists, business or migration. When you were there in a new and foreign country, would you be curious about the country and its culture? Were you caught out in situations whereby due to cultural differences and not understanding it ?
When I was studying in Australia, I had my fair share of my cultural exchanges and learning with the Aussie lifestyle and culture, especially their sports culture, really love it a lot. I would share my personal cultural stories here once a while.
Comics had been a common feature in newspapers and magazines worldwide, therefore, I would like to introduce a Singapore comics artist Lee Chee Chew, his comics is something that I read regularly whenever I have the chance.
Do check out his blog, it’s a good site for we locals to laugh at ourselves and for our international visitors to learn about us via comics !
Well, I also loved to visit blogs or sites that uses their comics and drawings to tell people more about their local culture in their country…… always a great insight to read, look, learn and laugh.
Yeah, I agree with you.
We try to know America culture through David Letterman’s late show Or Friends series. And we try to understand Hongkong through their film, especially the Comedy.
That are some excellent examples of methods to understanding cultures besides the role of comics !
Thanks for sharing !
