A1 North East England was historically industrial. Mining and shipbuilding heritage. Birthplace of locomotive steam engine. There are museums that reflect the history. It is coastal plus villages/towns. Kippers, tea, stotties broon ale & other food/drink is found here

A2 #pttravel I was able to visit the townships of South Africa that were in the news so much 40 years ago. Today, they have a vibrant culture. We were shown this building built using sea vans. They teach their youth how to build things like this.

A3 #pttravel Some more pics around the South African townships. They were really creative with the sea vans. In the one pic, they were roasting goat heads & no I didn’t try any.

A3 #PTTravel We had no idea what this procession in Peru was about. Our guide didn't know, either, but said she would try & find out. She never did get back to us, though.

A2 I think one of the very different cultures that still captivates me is India. The smells, sounds, busy and hustling cities, the food and the people. Bursts of colour, temples, tuk tuks and beautiful scenery on coast/in hills

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Coming from a Christian country, I found the temples and religious customs of Japan facinating.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTTravel Chat A3: #Ecuador is such an amazing place to visit with different environments for everyone to enjoy, city, jungles, mountains and who doesn’t love volcanos. Not all volcanos are in Iceland.

A3 It can be subtle cultural differences or much bolder. Wine in Europe with little snacks on the side, traditional dress around the world (Quechuan), masks in New Orleans for Mardi Gras or cava ceremony in Fiji
