(Although, Badlight, in my experience Roast Pork and Cult Leader are actually unrepresentatively POSITIVE and not at all jaundiced- although they might be if they read this of course!). Sliknik, I wouldn't dream of trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs, even if she WAS only 29, so if you would like to correct my cultural gaffes by writing a response, it would be my honour to publish it on this blog.Sarah Broscombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442632620259524981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903745305717203364.post-28354885807057101092010-09-11T11:58:53.171-04:002010-09-11T11:58:53.171-04:00is wa' a gwan hay? dis 'oman come from far...is wa' a gwan hay? dis 'oman come from farren an' now she a judge abby dese? fus she gan' in de bush an' she tryin' to teech dem how fu do ting rite, now she wan teech we? me gun complain to da minista who din halla pan she da wan time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903745305717203364.post-41222987918582692202010-09-11T11:56:56.152-04:002010-09-11T11:56:56.152-04:00Taking the lens to Georgetown society now, are we?...Taking the lens to Georgetown society now, are we? Always interesting to see yourself and your society through a stranger's eye. I agree with Wong though, I know Roast Pork and the Cult Leader and I really don't believe that they are representative of Georgetown society. They may also have a jaundiced view of the society, so take what they say with a dram of cachaça.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903745305717203364.post-17523480702431844762010-09-11T10:59:53.123-04:002010-09-11T10:59:53.123-04:00It's not surprising that you should have to ta...It's not surprising that you should have to take a few minutes to absorb all these new things. But before you generalize, think more of the idea that Guyana is a microcosm of a variety of cultures and cultural ideas and customs, what you may learn from the Cult Leader and Roast Pork is but "a view", not the view :-) Have fun learning and disseminating.<br />Wong Ping from Roast Pork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
