No tough choice for me.
My relatives in deep Southern Italy would be offended by those comments, in fact, I am offended. Who the hell are you to say they are not real people living within a real culture. Don't be so freakin ignorant man :evil:

Great pics, everyone, keep them up...

Omar, I'm kind of confused, isn't every state in which a group of people live a kind of culture, or are you talking about some kind of natural culture? Cos I don't know if such a thing exists.

Okay okay, i was exaggerating. Culture is everywhere of course. But western culture is a bit bland and homogenized if you ask me.

Yes, probably southern Italy is pretty unique, and has kept much of it's historical traditions, as has rural Greece, Lebanon, and just about anywhere. But my point still stands I think, you would see much more cultural differences if you went to Antigua or Machu Pichu, then if you went to Paris, Madrid, or even Amsterdam.
