Darren,
Just a word to thank you for your explanation.
I was indeed very happy to see that you are contributing to erase some of the pre-conceived ideas that certain people have about people from a different culture to their own.
Your contribution is important and it will certainly adds to a better understanding and respect of the different cultures on earth.
Congratulations
Desire
