What do Canadians think of traveling to Earth's Southern Hemisphere?
I know Canada is the North Strong and Free. But what do Canadians think of the serenity and tranquility in the Southern Hemisphere.
Like Australia/New Zealand - you have shiny happy people scuba diving in the Pacific Seas, and the Maori and remote islands.
And Chile/Argentina - Tango dancing and breathtaking landscapes
Peru and Bolivia with the Andes Mountains and Macha Pichu
Puppetry in the Indonesian mountains of sumatra
And South Africa and Mozambique you have safari and very indigenous
I find the Southern Hemisphere doesn't get much attention. I have 6,000 songs on my ipod, only 263 are attributed to lands in the Southern Hemisphere.
I think Canadians would like the peace and tranquility of the very Southern Hemisphere.
Do Canadians agree?
In Canada, why can't there be a special CBC-sponsored study on Southern Hemispheric ethnicities in Canada.
Southern Hemisphere cultures seem to be very mellow, easy-going...
Some Canadians do a lot of travelling in the Southern hemisphere. There are a lot of Canadians who work there, especially in Third World countries and even more who go there just for holidays. I lived in South Africa for three years; my sister still lives there. My brother's job has taken him to every corner of the globe. I'll grant you that there are Canadians who never leave the country but there are a lot who do also.
I think you need to rethink the "Southern Hemisphere cultures seem to be very mellow, easy-going" idea though. Africa is a continent that is constantly in turmoil. And so is South America - not so long a go we had a group of Canadians who were kidnapped there and held for months before being released and anywhere that is a mass of drug cartels cannot be called, "easy going". Some of the negative news from some of those countries does not look as bad as it is simply because THEIR bad news is overshadowed by other countries who's bad news is worse - everything is relative! And the media has a lot to do with what is internationally known about most places - if the media get a hold of an issue going on , we know about it. If they don't, we don't either.
The Canadian version of the History channel and CBC, CTV etc often have shows and documentaries about the various cultures represented in this country - if the USA did not block out Canadian TV, you'd know that.
