Episode 18 | The time I discovered American pride
Cross-cultural surprises
🇺🇸 In this episode, set in USA, I tell you about an encounter that changed my life, but also (and above all!) about the relationship that cultures can have with national symbols.
Something that didn't jump out at me at first was suddenly a revelation. This large flag that flew proudly in front of a house would have had a totally different meaning in a French garden... but why?
Let's peel back the "onion" that is culture and talk about the meaning and value we attach to the symbols that represent our cultures, and which are not always obvious to the outsider.
Let's meet Mickey Mouse and Uncle Sam in the land of their birth!
Whether you're an expatriate, a traveller or just curious about cultures and diversity, this podcast is for you!
Enjoy!
