This one great thing to do, all those saying we are selling our culture, how well do you know your culture. We've learned their culture to the extent of not knowing ours, he also learning from us and that's a good to do to know others culture and fuse them so we know both cultures and learn from each other.... How well can you dance to your culture drums. I love this guy.
