What Nationality Is Your Soul?

[Retrochic]

Just for fun- you perhaps are born in the united Kingdom but do you have a yearning for Jamaica, or are you a cool Swede? I'm born French Canadian but have an affinity with Italy. I LOVE everything about it even the smelly streets in Naples. I could live on Italian food and feel I should have been an Italian mamma, making home-made pasta and tomato sauce from scratch and having all the family around the table outside on the veranda drinking home made wine (getting carried away lol!) So whats your Souls nationality?

I've never been, but, for some reason, I feel an affinity with Latvia. A small country with a fascinating history.

A friend of mine gigs there occasionally. He loves the people and their culture. One time, he was talking to the promoter about the Baltic States, and their relative feelings about their neighbours.

" The Estonians, with a Finnic language, are friendly with Finland. The Lithuanians, possibly because of the old Polish Empire, feel an affinity with Poland."

"... and Latvians?"

"oh, we just fear Russia.........."

Sad, but true.

I don't think my soul has a nationality.

Forty years ago, as part of my degree course I spent a month in Minsk. One day we went on a short trip to Vilnius (capital of Lithuania). What a charming place! What sticks in my mind is that we were walking along the street speaking English when two young boys walked past. They muttered, "Germans!" I stopped them and explained that we were not Germans but English. They broke into broad smiles and apologised.

Although I had a very odd experience some years back, which might be explained. When I first took the job here where I live now in Kent, it felt like I was coming home, although I'd never been to the town before. Our family genealogy is being researched, and it turns out that my father's forebears lived in the town for many years, including my grandmother. Perhaps I've found my roots....

Menorcan, from the minute I first went there 16 years ago. It's my constant dream to live there and every time I am there I look at locals and think God how fantastic it must be to be a native of this island.

Danish. Felt like coming home.

I always feel at home in Germany .I suppose I have an affinity having been married to one of them for nearly 42 years .
But like flump I've visited Greece several times and love it .It was our favourite holiday destination. Too old now and hobbly to go back there and dance under the night sky :(

When I go home to Ireland I relax and fit in much better than anywhere else I have lived....so my soul and my heart are Irish.....but when we used to visit Portugal I had a good feeling there.....perhaps because there is a similarity between the Irish and the Portugese.....

[tonyav]

Black country man through and through but if I have an affinity with anywhere else it would be Ibiza I think.

[murraymints]

for GNESS

[jakep]

Not a nationality but my soul is in North Norfolk. Unfortunately the rest of me is in North Kent!

Thank you, Minty......♣

They say home is where the is heart is and despite my username and Irish heritage my heart belongs to England.

Obiter, the Belarussians have good reason to dislike the Germans, what wasn't destroyed by the Germans in the WW2 was flattened by the Russians when they kicked them out. Look up 'Operation Bagration' on Youtube.
We have a Belarussian acquaintance who told us (perhaps tongue in cheek) that 'there is only one old building in Belarus, all the others were destroyed in the war (WW2)'
