Hi there toribash forumites I have come to open a discussion about different cultures.

What is unique about the culture of your area?

What local foods are there ?

Are there some traditions that your community have that are not seen as often elsewhere ?

What are the "sub-cultures" you're aware of or have been a part of ?

Unlike what Fred thinks, Lebanon is NOT a desert. It actually snows here in the winter at high altitudes.

San Diego, the crown jewel of Southern California! This stunning coastal city is a treasure trove of laid-back charm, vibrant culture, and endless sunshine. San Diegans embody a unique blend of relaxed surf culture, cosmopolitan sophistication, and small-town warmth, making this city a true gem.

Imagine waking up each morning to the sound of seagulls and the gentle rustle of palm trees, with the warm sun shining brightly overhead. The ocean air fills your lungs, invigorating your senses and setting the tone for a day filled with adventure and possibility.

San Diego's culture is deeply rooted in its stunning natural beauty. The city's 70 miles of coastline offer a diverse range of beaches, from the bustling Boardwalk of Mission Beach to the secluded coves of La Jolla. The nearby mountains and deserts provide endless opportunities for hiking, biking, and exploration.

But San Diego's charm extends far beyond its physical beauty. The city is home to a thriving arts and culture scene, with numerous galleries, museums, and performance venues. The famous Gaslamp Quarter is a hub of activity, with its vibrant nightlife, trendy restaurants, and boutique shops. The historic Hotel del Coronado, with its iconic red turrets, stands sentinel over the city, a symbol of San Diego's rich history and heritage.

San Diegans are a diverse and welcoming bunch, with a strong sense of community and a passion for living life to the fullest. From the colorful neighborhoods of Hillcrest and North Park to the historic districts of Old Town and Little Italy, each community has its own unique character and charm. The smell of freshly baked bread from the local bakeries in Little Italy wafts through the air, enticing you to indulge in some of the city's famous Italian cuisine.

With its year-round mild climate, San Diego is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors. From surfing and paddleboarding at La Jolla Shores to hiking in Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, the city offers endless opportunities for adventure and recreation. And when the sun goes down, the city comes alive with a vibrant nightlife, featuring everything from rooftop bars in the Gaslamp Quarter to live music venues in the North Park neighborhood.

In San Diego, the phrase "laid-back" is more than just a cliché – it's a way of life. The city's relaxed, easy-going vibe is infectious, making it the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and soak up the sun. Whether you're a native San Diegan or just visiting, this incredible city is sure to captivate your heart and leave you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and eager to return.

my culture consists of gumbo and teenagers offing each other in gang wars, oh and mardi gras, its like a big parade that lasts a few days to week depending on where ur at, but people get downnnnnn, everyones trippin balls or fucked up on smthn, mardi gras beads are thrown from floats and u gotta catch them and its bragging rights about whoever caught the most in ur friend/family group ur with, lots of music and people in the community cooking bulk food for everyone, and tits alot of flashing happens at the big parades, massive parties in the streets the whole downtown area turns into a big ass club

I'm fucking jealous bro

last year in my city someone in the crowd flipped a dude off who was on a float cuz he didnt throw him a bead, the dude n the float was drunk as fuck and leaned over the edge and fell out. he knocked himself out and had to get an ambulance, was the funniest shit i ever saw at mardi grras

When I grew up in Menorca, Spain, Menorca's summer fiestas, particularly the Jaleo, are a unique blend of tradition, equestrian skills, with each town celebrating its patron saint through horse parades, music, dancing, and fireworks. The Jaleo is a highly trained rider, dressed in their amazing traditional costumes and follow strict protocols with the Menorcan horses rears up on their hind legs while riders and crowds interact going down a very narrow street - The people in the crowd can walk up to the Menorcan horse and reach for its heart for good luck (you can imagine how dangerous this is, considering the horse will kick and some have died, I remember 1 person did die in hospital when I was very young, getting kicked in the chest pretty hard, crazy stuff) The Menorcan Horse is absolutely beautiful though if you've never seen one.

I'll attach some images from google so you have an idea of the horses and festival.

The main part of the fiestas is the food though with traditional Menorcan dishes like lobster stew, sausages, and artisan cheeses, the drink is the Pomada, a mix of gin and lemonade.

These festivals go on for months, sometimes from Junes all the way through to September, different towns celebrate it at different times, sometimes at the start of every month between June-September
