The long awaited culture swap.. someone had to do it! READ CAREFULLY! Swap-bot is primarily Americans (US), so some of you will get paired up with Americans. To make it interesting, the item list for Americans (US) is differnt than the item list for other countries. Please read carefully... IF YOU LIVE IN THE US, YOU WILL SEND 1). A postcard from your area 2). A letter to your partner talking about your native heritage... For example, my husband's aunts and uncles are Amish.. I might write a little bit about Amish culture since that influences my life greatly.. Or I'm Sicilian, so I might write a little bit about how being Italian American has changed my life! (it hasn't changed my life much, but we do have certain rituals that have come over from the old country!) 3). A gift from your culture... For Example, I might send out an Amish doll or a package of ziti... or maybe a CD of great Italian hits! Be Creative! 4). Something that is manufactured close to home.. I live right outside of the Smoky Mountains, so I could send out a plush black bear with a Great Smoky Mountains T-shirt! 5). AND finally A picture of something that you can only find in your area... Intrigue people to come visit your town! For Example: I'll probably take a picture of the Smoky Mountains. IF YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY OTHER THAN AMERICA, YOU WILL SEND: 1). A postcard from your area 2). A letter to your partner talking about your country... For Example: If you live in Germany you might write about it's beautiful landscapes and different celebrations! 3). A gift from your country... For Example: if you live in Belgium you might send Belgian chocolates.. Try to make sure if there is writing on the gift that it is written in your native language.. it adds to the excitement! 4). Something that is manufactured close to home.. For Example: If you live in Peru you could send an Alpaca Bear! 5). AND finally a coin or piece of paper currency from your country.. it doesn't have to be a lot of money - just something for your partner to look at and enjoy! Everyone's invited! Newbies will have to contact me before they join... International (obviously!).. ... Try to make the package cost at least $10 before shipping.. but try not to go over $30. Enjoy this swap and let me know if there are any questions! |
