What is the most favorite thing about where or whom you cam from?
I will go first...
I am from Georgia, USA and I am proud that I have good manners and social etiquette. AND that we know football (american) is a religion.
My heritage is German. I like the old German tradition of the wedding cup at weddings. I wish I had done it at my wedding.
