People may joke around here that styles and music and such are a few decades behind... mullets, rat tales, manic panic colors, stuff like that.... but yesterday I once again heard the American version of the Ducktales theme song as a ringtone (yes, there is a Czech version)... and then Huey Lewis chimed in on someone else's phone with the Power of Love.
The I went to a CS dinner - huge gathering and people had little stickie name-tags... not really full name tags but little mini labels sized stickers. A Belgian friend named Bert had Bert - FOE on it... I, and a few other friends happen to know that FOE stands for Friend of Ernie - Sesame Street - get it?
Well, here's where you can see the curtain's cultural divide. French, Dutch, Spanish, Austrian and some German friends understood once Sesame Street was mentioned BUT Czech, Slovak, Romanian, and Polish ones asked, "What the hell is Sesame Street?!?"
