What inspires me about my own culture...
Well humour is something I really appreciate about where I live. It's used to establish a good atmosphere, to bridge differences, introduce odd ideas and to show appreciation or contempt.
I like it that the British joke about everything... the queen, politics, religion but most importantly ourselves!
Understatement too is a brilliant thing... "Not bad" actually meaning "very good" and "not bad at all" being the highest praise.
There's also nothing like a nice cup of tea!
“A discerning eye needs only a hint, and understatement leaves the imagination free to build its own elaborations.”
