Happy Birthday!
Consider me for Giants: Citizen Kabuto
I find fascinating the fact that gestures can mean different things in different cultures. Take thumbs up, means approval in some western cultures but completely opposite in the Middle East. Peace sign means one thing in the US but something else in UK if you show it the other way round lol The list goes on, basically you got to be careful not just with your language, but also with your gesticulation if you travel around the world to avoid misunderstanding ;)

As an example, much of the music in the middle east and meditteranean is quite similar. Israel might have a very different religious makeup than, say, Greece or the Arab nations, yet the folk music styles of these countries are not that different.

Happy birthday! I am in for
1. Northland + 8th Wonder
2. Cultures 1+2
I find it interesting how idioms for the same thing in different parts of the world reflect the culture and environment. In English, "bygones" can be expressed also as "water under the bridge", but in German a corresponding expression is "schnee von gestern" (yesterday's snow).

erbello: Thanks for the GA and happy Birthday :)
Fat Thursday is coming very soon, one of my favourite customs :)
I'm gonna be fat af. Omnomnomnom.
I would like to in for the Cultures: Northland + 8th Wonder of the World ;) You're the lucky winner because the person who was my first pick for that prize doesn't have their chat setting set correctly. And I'm not here to waste time on explaining that.
I'm also fully aware you actually have Cultures 1+2 and still haven't played that. Now that you own the entire series it's high time you get to playing it. NOT TOMORROW, NOT AFTER BREAKFAST...NOW! :D
Or risk me launching some serious towel slapping on your Fat Thursday ass. xD
KetobaK: I guess your birthday is February 10th, so happy almost birthday.
I'm in, I will participate for Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
The Cosquín Folk Festival: is a traditional festival in our country and one of the biggest in Latam, it lasts 10 days, and different competitions are held every night, music and dance where young amateurs compete to make themselves known and participate in live performance with professional artists, they do cultural exhibitions, bonfires on the riverbank, interact with native tribes who teach their language and culture in large exhibitions, sell differents traditional foods and organize parties that last until dawn, is really cheerful!!! I've watches a decent number of Argentinian films (it's in my top3 world cinemas actually) and I've realizes Argentinians are similar people to folks living in the Balkans. They are positively crazy! :D
Enjoy your crazy new game. ;)
slurredprey: Happy Birthday!!!
I'm in.
La Tomatina is an interesting festival in Spain where people fight with tomatoes. They've been holding the event ever since 1945. I'm not going to lie, at first I thought that it was quite ridiculous, but then I realized that it's basically Holi (a popular festival here in India, where people throw colour and coloured water on others), but with tomatoes.

I'm in for Cultures 1+2.
Thanks for the giveaway, and again, have a great birthday! Tomatoes...love them...can't get enough of them...and ketchup...soooo yummy. I should probably put 'participation in La Tomatina' on my bucket list. xD
Have fun playing Cultures and if you have any question about the game, my chat is always open. :)
