Oh, the Scots! Another wonderful people. *-* I didn't know about the cheese-rolling, to be honest, but I love the thing with the tree-trunk. XD Now that I think about it, Finns and Scots are both known for drinking ... but surely that doesn't have anything to do with their tastes in sports! ;)
... My dad's hometown IS near Potenza! Wow, this is starting to look like Voyager-worthy stuff! XD My dad and his sibling went to live in Lombardy when they were pretty young, but we still have lots of relatives down there and we try to go there every Summer. My dad comes from Banzi, and I've never met someone who didn't come from there who knew where it was. XD Anyway, here it is: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banzi So, if I can ask you too, where's your father from? :)
Aww, I don't know if that sounds desperate or cute. But yeah, I guess some differences are just too much. XD
I studied French in middle school and I was pretty good at it too, but now my French got a bit rusty. I'd like to refresh it a bit, really ... Yeah, I don't think Spanish is really ugly either, though it does sound funny to me, but it's so weird because it sound kinda like Italian and I understand a few words so it sounds like I should be able to get what people are saying ... but my experience in Spain last Summer proved that no, Spanish just makes me go WTF everytime. XD I've heard a little of Norwegian, but I couldn't really get into it either. And I know Swedish is basically Norwegian with a somewhat clearer pronunciation and Danish is Swedish with a potato stuck in the mouth, so I didn't even really try. XD Though once I watched a video with two characters speaking in standard Swedish and Finland-Swedish, and the Finland-Swedish was really cute. <3 I'd love to learn Icelandic, if only because it's the closer one to Old Norse. **
