Hahaha yeah! Major in Modern Languages (English-Spanish-Italian), had to take classes about Psychology, History of Arts, French Literature, and, the best, History of Greaco-Roman Antiquity with Introduction to the History of the Near East (including Egypt)... Sounds good, doesn't it? :D

You should be well-versed in your history. Modern languages sounds like a lot of fun. What's your native language?

Fact is: I HATE History ^^ I'm not fond of "study every date and whatsoever"... I mainly speak French, and a little bit of a Dutch dialect :) I (suppose I) master English and Spanish, I'm quite good at Italian and German, and I have basics in Japanese :D Quite the polyvalent type xD

I only like to read about history of certain people/places. I'll spend all day reading about Viking culture, but knowing about Chinese dynasties bores me to death...Unfortunately English is my only real tongue, but I can hold a simple conversation in Spanish and I'm looking into learning German. Americans don't have the same focus on languages that Europeans do, which I think is sad.

So much of the world opens up when you know more about other cultures.

I like some eras too: the Ancient Greek (but them ONLY), Sengoku period in Japan, Prince Bishopric of Liège (haha nationalism), Australia... Yet we don't have these here :( Oh well, it's because the US are SO HUGE! 300x our little Belgium! :) We got more occasions to travel into different countries, like I travel 700miles and I'm in Italy :)

The US's size is our greatest asset because it means that we don't have to rely on anyone else for resources. But that also means that we don't have the spirit of co-operation that many countries have to have to get by. America's like an only child, while Europe is from a big family. .
